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

When you lead the election polls by a two-digit gap it can be challenging to convince your supporters that every vote counts.
Arab voters know campaign talk is cheap. No political party can realistically offer the Arab public an alternative without reserving a respectable spot on their Knesset slate for a member of the sector.
As the worst crisis Israel has ever seen drags on and the COVID death toll passes 5,000, politicians should stop thinking about the election and start thinking about the people.
With the addition of representatives of multiple sectors into the Likud's Knesset list and the alliance between radical Otzma Yehudit and Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionist Party, Netanyahu hopes to extract every single right-wing vote possible on Election Day.
Having realized his divisive rhetoric is pushing away voters and an end to the pandemic won’t be coming anytime soon, Netanyahu is shifting gears in his campaign.
Can Merav Michaeli redeem Israel's oldest political party and make it a force to be reckoned with again? Supporters are hopeful.
The prime minister knows that if he wants to stick around at the PM’s office for a few more years, he has to ensure Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionist party makes it into the Knesset. In recent days, the premier has done everything in his power to ensure that happens.
