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
Neither large party has a clear path to forming a majority government. Potential kingmaker Avigdor Lieberman: National unity government is the "one and only option" on the table. PM Netanyahu: I will seek the formation of a new Zionist government that excludes Arab parties. Benny Gantz: We will work to set up a broad national government.
Blue and White leader says political contacts with other parties are already underway, adding, “I mean to talk to everyone. We will work to set up a broad national government that will express the will of the people." Yair Lapid: In the coming days, everyone will need patience. Senior Blue and White member Zvi Hauser: We will act with full force to set up a unity government.
We can complain about the candidates, we can shut our ears to the mudslinging, and hold our nose to avoid the stink of fakery – but we can also vote, and by doing so, choose the type of country we want to leave for our children and our grandchildren.
Less than a year ago, he helped the haredim win the municipal election in Jerusalem. This isn't hypocrisy, it is typical Liebermanist politics. Who knows, maybe one day we'll see him heading the Joint Arab List.
Addressing supporters in Tel Aviv hours after voting ends, PM Netanyahu says, "There will not be and there cannot be a government that leans on Arab, anti-Zionist parties." Meanwhile, kingmaker Avigdor Lieberman says there is only "one option" for the country: a unity government between Yisrael Beytenu, Likud, and Blue and White.
List of Arab parties expected to get 15 seats according to Channel 13 News, potentially giving center-left bloc 59 seats, compared to Right's 53. Wildcard Lieberman still projected to get 8 seats.
Despite left-wing bloc all but tied with Right, Democratic Union and others say results could end Netanyahu's premiership.
With neither Blue and White nor Likud in position to form government along ideological lines, wildcard MK can decide fate of Netanyahu. Lieberman: Only viable option is unity government, but Left will not sit with Netanyahu as Likud leader. All eyes on President Rivlin.
"Our headquarters are now facing a major cyberattack, with more than 500 attempts to infiltrate our systems from various servers overseas," Blue and White co-leader MK Yair Lapid tweets.
Social media giant used "5-kilo hammer" to crush the Likud, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says after Likud chatbot was shut down following reports that it was sharing polling data in violation of election law.
