Every Israeli and Hebrew news source, in one place. baba news brings Israel's newsrooms, publishing in Hebrew, Arabic and Russian, together in English. ONE EVENT, EVERY NEWSROOM Reports about the same story are grouped together, so you see how many outlets covered it and where they sit (left, centre and right) before you read a word. That comparison is the app. It is not something a website can show you. EVERY NEWSROOM, ONE WIRE Ynet, Haaretz, Kan, N12, Channel 13, Israel Hayom, Maariv, Globes, Calcalist, Arutz Sheva, Srugim, Kikar HaShabbat, Behadrei Haredim, Arab48, Panet, Alarab, Vesty, NEWSru and more, on one live wire as they publish. THE STORY IN A FEW LINES Every report gets a short summary written by baba, in English, with the key points up front. Tap through to read the newsroom's own article on their site. THE WORDS IT WAS FILED IN A short extract of the original Hebrew, Arabic or Russian sits beside our English, so you can see the language the story was actually written in. BLINDSPOT Stories only a couple of outlets picked up, the ones that never spread. BUILT TO BE QUIET No account. No ads. No algorithm deciding what you see. Saved stories stay on your device. HOW IT WORKS baba news is not a publisher and does not reproduce anyone's articles. Summaries and key points are written by baba and labelled as ours; every story names the newsroom that reported it, shows when it was published, and links to their original. We are independent and not affiliated with any government, ministry or political organisation.
