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.

Iran’s draft plan, reported by Al Jazeera, includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, freezing uranium enrichment for up to 15 years and launching a regional security dialogue in exchange for sanctions relief and an end to the blockade.
In an early-morning Truth Social post, the president threatened to drop his conciliatory approach – as intelligence officials weigh how Tehran might respond to a unilateral US victory declaration.
Washington believes that as part of the ongoing talks with Iran, another proposal will soon be placed on the table, one much closer to the US terms. US officials say that within 10 days, Iran will be forced to stop production at some of its oil fields, and within three weeks, nearly all oil production will stop.
Tehran proposed a plan that would include reopening the Strait of Hormuz while postponing questions related to its nuclear program for separate negotiations at a later stage. According to US officials, reopening the strait without resolving the issue of Iranian uranium enrichment and Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium near weapons-grade level is a key bargaining chip that the US will not easily give up.
President Donald Trumpis expected to meet with senior officials amid the deadlock with Tehran to discuss all available options to the US going forward. "If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us. You know, there is a telephone. We have nice, secure lines," the president said.
Pro-Iranian channel Al-Mayadeen reports Tehran has sent mediators a phased framework contingent on US approval, with the nuclear file reserved for the final stage.
According to Iranian media reports, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left the talks and headed for meetings in Oman and Russia. Witkoff and Kushner’s departure for Islamabad has also yet to be confirmed. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are expected to resume, but the gaps appear enormous.
US President Donald Trump's envoys will hold a face-to-face meeting with Abbas Araghchi. White House confirms: "The Iranians reached out and asked for this meeting." Washington says maximum pressure continues and the military option remains on the table
Three diplomatic sources from the region say China is involved behind the scenes in the contacts between Iran and the US, and is trying, among other things, to pressure the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to soften their position. Trump is willing to grant a brief extension of just a few days, sources in Washington say, but recent developments indicate even those few days could drag on.
After the US Treasury Department announced new sanctions and Tehran said it would not attend talks in Pakistan, Trump is extending the ceasefire without setting a new deadline. At the same time in Israel, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee has been summoned back to Washington for “consultations,” apparently regarding the issue of Lebanon.
