Adelson’s Paper Shifts From Netanyahu to Bennett, and the Editor-in-chief Is Out
Boaz Bismuth, who has served as the editor-in-chief since 2017, has found himself increasingly at odds with the Israel Hayom’s revised support of Netanyahu and embrace of Bennett’s premiership
Editor-in-chief of Israel Hayom Boaz Bismuth is leaving his role after almost five years, a spokesman for the daily said on Monday.
Israel Hayom, established as a free newspaper by tycoon Sheldon Adelson in 2007, swiftly became Israel’s most read paper and played a key role in the Netanyahu’s ascent. Edelson’s wife, Miriam, has taken over the reins of her late husband’s business empire, including Israel Hayom.
In recent years, the newspaper has shifted its editorial line from only supporting Benjamin Netanyahu, to an increasingly favorable stance toward Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, said people with knowledge of the paper’s affairs.
