Israel HaYom
Israel HaYom ( Hebrew ישראל היום 'Israel Today' ) is a free Israeli daily newspaper modeled on USA Today . First published on July 30, 2007, it became the country's most widely read newspaper within three years, reaching around 35% of the Israeli population. The founder, owner and financier of the newspaper is the American entrepreneur and multi-billionaire Sheldon Adelson , who recruited well-known Israeli journalists such as Amos Regev from other newspapers for his project.
Politically, the paper is close to conservative parties like the Likud . For her one-sided benevolent reporting on Benjamin Netanyahu , who was friends with Adelson , also and especially during election campaigns, she was criticized, among others, by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert . The Ha'aretz found that it would be fairer to the reader to rename the newspaper “Netanyahu Hayom” or “Bibi-Zeitung”.
