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
“What makes this [Washington-Jerusalem] relationship so strong, and what has made it so strong since Israel’s independence to the present day, is that this is a relationship that has always been based on our shared interests, but importantly our shared values,” State Department spokesman Ned Price says.
Under the controversial deal finalized by Lapid in October, Israel agreed to hand over disputed area in its economic and territorial waters in order to secure its rights to the Karish gas field.
As soon as the fifth election was announced, Religious Zionist Party head Bezalel Smotrich outlined the right-wing bloc's challenge upon victory: restoring governance.
With well over 80% of the votes counted, the left-wing party was projected to have no seats in the Knesset for the first time in its history.
Benny Gantz's State Party vows not to sit in a government with Benjamin Netanyahu, while Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beytenu warns the right-wing bloc against celebrating early.
The opposition leader seems to be headed toward one of his greatest victories. But for Netanyahu, winning is just the beginning.
Speaking in Jerusalem in the middle of the night, the opposition leader asked his supporters to have patience and said his Likud Party was “on the verge of a very big victory.”
"We have no intention to stop," Lapid told his supporters at his Center-Left party headquarters.
The Arab vote could ultimately determine the outcome of the election, and Likud has sounded the alarm that some polling stations in that sector had not been properly monitored.
Shas leader Aryeh Deri reacted to apparent rise of the Right-Haredi bloc, saying "the party achieved a great accomplishment and it will soon return to the helm."
