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

After being abandoned by the US in Syria, Kurdish forces are hoping for Israeli assistance that is unlikely to materialize. The Trump administration has chosen the government in Damascus over its former allies and now views Ahmed al-Sharaa as a partner in the fight against Islamic State, but in doing so it has already opened a Pandora’s box. The concern is that dozens of terrorists who escaped from prison will return to terrorism.

In response, the Kurdish leadership declares a general mobilization.
Although a ceasefire was declared between Kurdish militias and Syria’s Islamist government, a senior Kurdish official told Reuters he is desperately hoping that the US and Israel will step in on the Kurds’ behalf in the current confrontation with the government of Ahmed al-Sharaa.
While the Trump administration celebrates a diplomatic breakthrough, Jerusalem's insistence on demilitarizing the south stands in the way of Ahmed al-Sharaa's ambitions to crush Druze autonomy.
Iran withdrew all Revolutionary Guards from Syria on December 5, just days before Assad's regime collapsed. "From today, we are no longer responsible for you," Iranian commanders told Syrian officers. Thousands evacuated through Russian bases and border crossings.
