Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge. The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev. Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts. The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles. In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience. The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter. “The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services. Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il
Blue and White cry foul to distract from Gantz’s inability to form a government. Their anti-democratic fighting over the Arrangement Committee proves that, to Blue and White, Israel and the current corona crises take a backseat to petty politics.
When taking into account the conservative-economic tendencies and the traditionalism found in large portions of the Arab public, it’s easy to imagine a conservative Jewish-Arab alliance. This needs to be the liberal-right’s primary mission this decade.
Blue and White, which has refused to sit in a Netanyahu-led government as a matter of principle, will soon face pressure to violate this promise and join him. It is a complicated dilemma.
The Joint Arab List platform does not leave a single Zionist principle unchallenged. Bringing its members into the government and allowing them to help shape the country would be a catastrophe.
“If you ask Israeli Arabs, they will say that part of their identity is Israeli. The younger generation feels more Israeli than Palestinian, but now they feel the state is accusing them of being traitors,” said Rodayna Badir, an expert on Arab society in Israel working on research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The more seats the Joint Arab List wins, the bigger an obligation the party’s MKs have to their constituency. And it’s hard to get things done from the opposition.
The rumors of Netanyahu's political demise were clearly premature, but the road to a coalition remains long and difficult.
The High Court of Justice cannot ignore the will of the people. Israeli lawmakers should not lend their support for any such move and the judiciary should make sure to steer clear of any attempt to drag it into politics.
The votes for the Likud were first and foremost an expression of support for PM Benjamin Netanyahu and a protest at the legal system and media enlisting to topple him.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s story would seem implausible in a movie: An election victory, then the defection of a partner on the Right, then a failure to build a coalition, then another election, a loss, and then election No. 3.
