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
Despite statements by President Donald Trump and the US defense establishment that Iran’s navy was destroyed and now lies at the bottom of the ocean, the seizure of two commercial vessels this week shows that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still maintains thousands of speedboats. While Iran’s conventional fleet has largely been destroyed, its asymmetric “mosquito fleet” continues to operate with hit-and-run tactics, uses deep caves as cover and poses a real threat to the critical shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz.
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.
Oil-producing states across the gulf are drawing up contingency plans for a scenario that leaves the regime in Tehran intact. Even so, for the US and Iran to reach an agreement, they will have to overcome what appears to be an almost insurmountable barrier: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Ahmad Vahidi.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, the US Navy is using a mix of manned and unmanned systems in the mine-clearing mission. Experts said that after mines are identified in an initial sweep, a second wave of sea drones is sent in to neutralize the charges, either with explosives or by detonating them remotely.
Ahead of talks set to open in Pakistan, it appears one of the most significant disputes may be resolved. The regime still shows no willingness to give up its ballistic missile program. If Iran’s trend toward flexibility continues, the US will announce an extension of the ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump said a cargo ship called the TOUSKA tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and was intercepted. He said US Marines boarded the vessel and it is now being inspected to determine what it was carrying.
The US president remained optimistic despite the latest developments: “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable deal. It will happen, one way or another.”
Accounts obtained by the Daily Mail describe widows and displaced women being sexually exploited, blackmailed for aid and silenced by Hamas as rights groups warn tens of thousands may be at risk.
