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
Israel’s dependence on foreign supplies after Oct. 7 led Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make a dramatic decision: expand domestic weapons production. This is also the bitter lesson of the war in Ukraine. Without industrial independence and the ability to supply itself, even the world’s strongest alliances and most advanced weapons cannot prevent a collapse on the battlefield.
Hamas, it should be recalled, calls its October 7 surprise attack the “Al-Aqsa Flood,” For that reason alone, Tisha B’Av deserves to be restored to a central place in Israel’s national identity.
It seems that the United States and Iran do not want a return to large-scale fighting, but a war of attrition is equally pointless.
President Donald Trump has approved a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia worth tens of billions of dollars that could include the construction of a US uranium enrichment facility in the kingdom. The agreement is intended to bolster US companies and keep China and Russia at bay, but it has sparked controversy in Congress and fears of a regional arms race.
The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin, demanded that the federal government turn over all records concerning the convicted sex offender’s contacts with foreign governments. Democrats do not control Congress and therefore cannot compel an investigation. However, if they win the midterm elections, they would gain the authority to subpoena documents and witnesses.
