Israel Hayom (Hebrew: יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם, lit.'Israel Today') is an Israeli national Hebrew-language free daily right-wing newspaper. Distributed for free around Israel, it is the country's most widely distributed newspaper.[6][2] Owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, a personal friend and benefactor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom has often been criticized for portraying Netanyahu in an overly positive light.[7] In turn, Netanyahu has been accused of attempting to benefit Adelson's investments.[8]
