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
A Norwegian Facebook group that shares pro-Israel content was stunned to discover that a post featuring images of an Israeli hostage had vanished from users’ feeds. “I don’t understand how fake pictures of starving children in Gaza are allowed to circulate, but a real video of a hostage genuinely suffering from hunger gets deleted,” said the group’s administrator.
350 clerics convened in Turkey to provide "religious legitimacy" to the October 7 massacre, defining it as "defensive jihad," part of the obligation of jihad wars, and rejected calls to disarm Hamas.
The pleasant weather of recent days is expected to give way to a severe and prolonged heatwave starting this Friday, with Israel bracing for what could be one of the most intense and enduring bouts of extreme heat in nearly 100 years.
Hamas draws encouragement from the success of the "hunger in Gaza" campaign and the responses it generated worldwide and in Israel. They are also pleased with the connection made between the Palestinian statehood recognition initiative and the war in the Strip.
Netanyahu, ahead of key deliberations and amid reported rift with IDF, stresses unity as key to achieving war objectives of defeating enemy, releasing hostages and ensuring Gaza no longer threatens Israel.
