Israel News & Radio in English

Israel's news in English from every side, English podcasts, and what a day in Israel means for you. For readers abroad, new immigrants, visitors and anyone with Israeli family. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Israel News is independent. It does not represent the Israeli government, the IDF or any government agency and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES, with its link. For siren alerts and shelter instructions use the Home Front Command's own app. In an emergency in Israel, call 100, 101 or 102. NEWS FROM EVERY SIDE By topic (war and hostages, security, politics, the economy, Startup Nation, aliyah, the Jewish world and more) and by city, from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to Haifa and Eilat. Every outlet is labelled with where it usually sits (left-leaning, centrist, right-leaning, international or business), and Left, Centre and Right chips let you read one side at a time. Tap a story to see how other outlets covered it. Follow what matters: at most one notification a day, by viewpoint. ENGLISH PODCASTS The Times of Israel's daily briefing, TLV1 and Kan English's news, with lock-screen controls; episodes resume where you left them. ISRAELI RADIO Live, in Hebrew: Kan Bet's news and talk, Galei Tzahal, Kan Reka for new immigrants, Galgalatz, Kan 88 and Kan Gimel. TODAY IN ISRAEL For your city: when Shabbat starts and ends, the Hebrew date, and whether buses and trains run; the weather and the next two hours' rain; a strike watch; the shekel against your currency; recent earthquakes; and the next long weekend. THE ISRAELI CALENDAR Every Jewish and Israeli holiday and fast, and the clock changes, with a reminder the evening before. LEARN HEBREW A Hebrew word a day with how to say it, and "Israel explained": tap the Knesset, the Shin Bet or a mamad under a headline.
