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

Iran has postponed the renewal of broad negotiations with the US until at least July 18, agreeing only to technical-level talks. At the same time, criticism is growing in Washington over Tehran’s exploitation of sanctions relief, while Iran prepares for the possibility that the war will resume in the future.
Defense Ministry Director General Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram explains the insight politicians have failed to grasp: "For us, Iran is an existential threat. For the US, it is no more than a regional challenge." And yet, the last military word has not yet been said in the Gulf.
The plan to establish humanitarian shelters near Rafah is stirring anger and concern in Gaza border communities. Officials warn: "Any process that does not include disarming Hamas will endanger us and all of Israel." Kerem Shalom residents: "As long as Hamas is armed, it will be impossible to distinguish between residents and terrorists. There will be a drone smuggling highway."
A major shift allows the independent rabbinical organization to issue formal regulatory seals across Israel.
