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
The Yisrael Beytenu leader sends different messages depending on whether he is speaking Russian, Hebrew, or "Rightish." Don't be surprised if after the election he rushes to join a government made up of the Left and the haredim.
Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz's professed agreement to a potential leadership rotation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has done voters a favor.
Given how crafty Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Lieberman is, the Right is facing an uphill battle if it wants to stop him from plunging Israeli politics into utter disorder.
Despite Netanyahu's troubles, polls show that most Israelis still consider him the top candidate for prime minister. His opponents remember that he used his political skills to overcome hopeless situations before.
Former PM Ehud Barak cannot forgive Netanyahu for being a better leader than he was. Barak is obsessed with exacting revenge on Netanyahu, whose successes highlight Barak's failures.
The Left has made sure all of its small parties pass the electoral threshold. The Right has to close its ranks right away if it wants to avoid losing critical votes and remain in power.
Despite his years of zigzagging, Yisrael Beytenu party chief Avigdor Lieberman has worked over the years to foster an image of himself as a "bulldozer," although in practice, he has no real record to speak of.
The decision to move up a general election can rebound on a national leader, or it can greatly improve his or her position.
