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.

New research reveals long-standing ties between Board of Peace Gaza chief Nickolay Mladenov and an international organization linked to the "starvation" campaign against Israel. Researchers say the organization helped draft the section dealing with a "political horizon" and the two-state solution. ALLMEP's response: Claims are false.
Board of Peace official sheds light on behind-the-scenes talks to advance Trump plan • Says understandings were reached with prime minister on Hamas weapons decommissioning and oversight mechanisms • While criticizing Israel, he makes clear Hamas must surrender every category of weapon: “No gray area.”
Uganda's parliament has cleared troops for the Board of Peace mission, but Burundi, one of the world's poorest nations, has yet to finalize its involvement.
Israel and the US agreed there would be no further withdrawal from Gaza without Hamas disarming under American supervision. According to an Israeli political source, Netanyahu made clear that until the weapons are destroyed, the IDF will remain on the Yellow Line and retain freedom of action against threats.
According to Politico, diplomats warn that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of the 15-point plan could undermine confidence in the Board of Peace and US President Donald Trump’s ability to exert influence. The concern is that the Trump administration has lost leverage and may be unable to influence Israel and other nations in the Middle East.
Israeli diplomatic officials acknowledge disagreements between Jerusalem and Washington over the 15-point document concerning an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas, saying Jared Kushner is pushing for agreement, while Trump himself has yet to exert direct pressure. Meanwhile, Israel is sending the Americans a daily report detailing Hamas violations and the terrorist organization’s continued efforts to preserve its military capabilities.
The IDF compiles a daily report documenting Hamas violations and sends it to Washington as Israel demands that roadmap not move forward. 14 violations were recorded from Aug. 8-9, including transfers of weapons and planting of explosive device.
The Terrorist organization says it remains committed to roadmap for completing second phase of Gaza ceasefire agreement, calls on mediators to set clear timetable and ensure all parties comply.
The prime minister rejects the 15-point document at start of Cabinet meeting, says Israel is in talks with US over Hamas’ disarmament. Addressing Iran and Lebanon as well, Netanyahu says of US: “They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are not.”
Hamas’ agreement to relinquish its defining symbols, armed struggle and civilian control of Gaza, represents a dramatic development. Yet the path toward implementing the understandings is riddled with problems, requiring Israel to sacrifice intelligence capabilities, withdraw forces and leave the remaining weapons in the hands of a weak technocratic committee.
