How can I read Israeli news in English?
Open baba Newsand read it free, with no sign-up. baba follows the outlets Israelis actually read, translates and summarizes each story into clear English the moment it breaks, and links straight back to the original Hebrew article. Most of Israel’s newsrooms publish only in Hebrew, so if you don’t read the language you’re otherwise stuck with a thin slice of the story.
Want the language itself, not just the headlines? The free baba Hebrew translation app turns any Hebrew text, voice note, photo, or PDF into accurate English, and it gets gender and Israeli slang right where generic tools guess.

We watch the Israeli newsrooms
baba continuously reads the top Hebrew outlets across the spectrum: broadcast, daily, religious, and business press.
We translate and summarize

Live, free, and transparent
