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
Hamas sources informed the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that an assistant to United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steven Witkoff met with Hamas officials in Qatar during Saturday and Sunday, including senior political bureau member Khalil Al-Haya.
Each of the drones represented a life lost in the attack as part of the Nova exhibit that has traveled to major cities worldwide including New York, Los Angeles, and Tel Aviv.
The terrorist organization did not specify the time of release of the hostage, or whether it will take place without a public ceremony. Trump envoy Witkoff is set to arrive in Israel to try to expand the release deal. If a long-term ceasefire agreement is reached, Trump may visit Israel before Saudi Arabia.
An Israeli source stated Monday morning, "Hamas receives nothing in return for Edan's release, and there is no ceasefire." Alexander, an Israeli-American who made aliyah, was taken captive on Oct. 7.
Despite Israel's historical reluctance to utilize this channel, it ultimately proved crucial in securing the Israeli-American soldier's release, officials note.
