From today, The Times of Israel is also in Arabic
As of today, The Times of Israel appears in Arabic as well as English. Wow, that was an easy sentence to write — covering a multitude of complexities.
We’re not exactly sure how The Times of Israel Arabic is going to be received in the Arab world. But we do know what its goal is: to report Israel, the region and the Jewish world accurately and engagingly for Arabic readers wherever they may be — precisely as we have been doing for two years for English readers.
Since we launched The Times of Israel on February 14, 2012, your engagement has made it a veritable phenomenon. Month by month, the news has spread — via email, social media, even that old-fashioned concept known as word of mouth — and we’ve seen our readership grow, first in Israel where people heard about us first, and then around the English-speaking world. More than two million people regularly come to The Times of Israel to get their news, devour features and analyses, and read and contribute opinion pieces. Two million! Which is frankly astounding for a website that wasn’t here two years ago, and a testament to your interest and the efforts of everyone working and contributing here. And that number is growing month by month.
Now we’re carrying our commitment to fair-minded journalism into the Arab world, and the transparency of that effort at fairness begins with the name: The Times of Israel Arabic is called exactly that, in Arabic. Our Arabic readers will know from the top of the homepage on down exactly what we’re providing — our best effort to tell them what’s going on, good and bad. Independent journalism without partisan affiliation.
