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
According to the Board of Peace report to the UN Security Council, humanitarian aid to Gaza has increased by 70% in terms of supplies, but humanitarian needs in the Strip remain extensive and most residents are still suffering from shortages of shelter, water, health care and employment.
The IDF has expanded the security zones in the Gaza Strip by another 34 square kilometers after Hamas violated the disarmament deal. The strategic move received approval from the Board of Peace and is being carried out in close coordination with the US administration. Inside Gaza, reports say extensive engineering work is underway to flatten infrastructure along the route of the new "orange line."
US officials are expressing anger at Hamas over its refusal to disarm. Qatar, Turkey and Egypt, which guaranteed the move, are also facing harsh criticism. Meanwhile, activity at the Kiryat Gat command center is gradually being scaled back, with oversight being transferred to other parties
A special migration directorate was established by Israel about a year ago after surveys showed that more than 40% of Gazans do in fact want to emigrate. One hundred thousand applications have already been submitted, and there are countries willing to take in the migrants. But on the ground, the directorate stands empty.
While Israel insists on linking rehabilitation to Hamas's disarmament, Qatar and the UN are already clearing rubble, paving roads, and drilling water wells across the Gaza Strip.
While a Hamas negotiating team held talks in Cairo, the terrorist organization rejected calls to lay down its arms and presented a sweeping list of conditions – including a full Israeli pullout from Gaza.
Nickolay Mladenov set to meet Hamas representatives in Turkey Thursday to receive their response on the US disarmament demand; senior officials signal refusal.
The founding conference of Trump's proposed UN alternative drew 20 world leaders to Washington – but the unveiling of a logo bearing the Palestinian Authority emblem immediately ignited controversy.
Trump’s board will meet over the weekend to discuss the entry of the technocratic committee and the deployment of international forces in the Strip, as Hamas rejects disarmament and presenting problematic demands. Indonesia will deploy thousands of troops, but without authority to disarm the terrorist organization.
Israel will not agree to the deployment of foreign forces in the Gaza Strip without a workable plan to disarm Hamas and establish a mechanism to carry it out. With no such agreement in sight, Israeli officials assess that once the ultimatum period given to Hamas expires, the IDF will resume military pressure on the terrorist organization.
