Inception [edit]
The Times of Israel was launched in February 2012. Its founder and editor is David Horovitz, formerly of The Jerusalem Post and The Jerusalem Report. It receives financial support from Boston, Massachusetts-based Seth Klarman, founder of Baupost Group and chairman of The David Project, who has said he is opposed to Israel's settlement movement.[3]
Editorial orientation [edit]
We are independent; we’re not attached or affiliated with any political party. [The Times of Israel is] an independent, fair-minded journalistic venture, and I think it’s incredibly important to give people a sense of the options that Israel faces and create an informed and constructive debate.
— David Horovitz, The Forward
Competition [edit]
The Times competes for readership with The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, and The Forward.[3]
