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

On social media there has been a 1,200% surge over the past year in posts with antisemitic content. In November-December 2023, most were detected on Twitter (68%), despite owner Elon Musk vowing to crack down on such instances. On TikTok, Facebook, Telegram and Instagram there were far fewer cases of antisemitism.
Due to the dramatic decrease in the number of rockets held by terror organizations in the Strip, rocket fire into Israel has greatly diminished, as terror groups apparently economize their use of the rockets in order to continue with their attacks on Israel for a longer period. In recent days Hamas has been firing only sporadically, mostly towards the Gaza border communities ,while central Israel has been all but spared of any barrages for the better part of the past month.
The number of Israelis who planned to visit South Africa has been steadily decreasing. This has caused El Al, the largest airline in Israel, to make its decisions both for commercial reasons and because of the ongoing diplomatic uncertainty. As a result, the only way to get to South Africa will be with foreign companies and a stopover along the way.
