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
In an unusual and tense call between the two leaders, the US president expressed anger over the Israeli strike in Dahiyeh, criticized Netanyahu's judgment and demanded that he refrain from further attacks. Trump claimed the move delayed the signing of the agreement with Iran and said he would act to prevent an Iranian response against Israel.
"We are closely monitoring developments while maintaining a high level of alert and readiness across all fronts. The reality at this time is sensitive and complex," IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said against the backdrop of the strike in Dahiyeh and the threats from Iran. Trump: "This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened."
The deputy head of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the supreme command of Iran's armed forces, threatened that the Israeli Air Force strike in Beirut "will not go unanswered." Iranian parliament speaker: "The strike proves the US cannot be trusted."
IDF strikes Hezbollah targets in Dahiyeh district in response to fire at Israel. Jerusalem seeks to preserve its freedom of action in Lebanon even if a memorandum of understandings is signed between Washington and Tehran. Lebanese officials believe an agreement with Iran could advance a ceasefire, but Israel is signaling that fire at its territory will be met even in the heart of Beirut.
The US President and his advisers are convinced that without reopening the Strait of Hormuz and bringing down oil prices, the global economy will slide into recession. For this reason, Trump is approving a memorandum of understanding whose only practical significance is the reopening of the strait. All other issues will be discussed afterward. The White House has told Israeli officials that in the final agreement, if one is signed, the US will achieve all the original goals for which it went to war.
