Ynetnews.com: Yediot Ahranot in English coming soon

When ynet went online in 2000 we revolutionized Israeli media with our speed, accuracy and fairness

English readers worldwide soon will be able to enjoy ynet's honest and authentic reporting direct from Israel.

The end of the Ma'ariv English language website deprived those who can't read Hebrew of a decent, moderate source of Israeli news. Ma'ariv may someday return in English per the final posting on their English language site:

Unfortunately, for reasons beyond our control Maariv has decided to suspend English language operations at this time. I can only express the hope that as the recently launched Hebrew NRG site continues to grow and mature, this decision will be reassessed, and we will be able to once again provide our international audience with the quality news and in depth coverage of Israel and the Middle East that our readers have come to expect.

Until then, all I can say is farewell, and hopefully au revoir. It has been a privilege serving you, and I hope that this will prove to be no more than a brief time out, and that we will, in due course resume operating.

The news that another of Israel's leading papers, Yediot Ahranot, will soon be available in English is good. Yediot is a little left of center, but not nearly as far as Ha'aretz and generally gives pretty good coverage.
