Congratulations to David Horovitz and his team on the launch of The Times of Israel. According to David:

The Times of Israel represents a determined effort, by a team of skilled, committed journalists, to report Israel, the region and the Jewish world accurately and engagingly. …

Fair-minded journalism, based in Israel, and read both here in Israel and among those who care for the Jewish nation around the world, has a vital, even noble role to play in enabling informed debate over the challenges and the choices that face the Jewish state. Informing that debate is one of the prime goals of The Times of Israel.

David, the former editor of the Jerusalem Post, is regarded as one of the most credible and respected figures in the Israeli media industry and is an eloquent voice when commentating on the complexities of Israel and the region.

The Times of Israel is a welcome addition to the Israeli and Jewish media landscape and we have no doubt that it will live up to its billing.
