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

The US State Department opposed the creation of the new mediation mechanism on Lebanon, arguing that it could undermine the direct talks between Israel and Lebanon.

The US Treasury Department issued a temporary 60-day license allowing the production, sale and delivery of Iranian oil, a step promised under the memorandum of understanding to end the war.

Sabai Zahir Abd al-Hamid Abu Hasna, a Nukhba terrorist who took part in the Oct. 7 massacre and was involved in holding Omer Shem Tov captive, was eliminated in an IDF strike in the northern Gaza Strip.

A historic heat wave is gripping Europe, and France in particular, after the country recorded its hottest night since 1945. Temperatures are expected to climb to 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit) in Bordeaux and 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit) in Paris, while parts of Spain could reach 44 degrees Celsius (111 degrees Fahrenheit). The heat has already claimed the lives of two children found dead in a car. Only about 27% of private homes in France have air conditioning, and the issue has become a political fault line in its own right.
