The Jerusalem Post

The Jerusalem Post is an English-language Israeli broadsheet newspaper based in Jerusalem. It was founded in 1932 during the British Mandate of Palestine by Gershon Agron as The Palestine Post. In 1950, it changed its name to The Jerusalem Post. In 2004, the paper was bought by Mirkaei Tikshoret, a diversified Israeli media firm controlled by investor Eli Azur. The Jerusalem Post is published in English. Previously, it also had a French edition. The paper describes itself as being in the Israeli political center, but widely seen as center-right in Israel; its editorial line is critical of political corruption, and supportive of the separation of religion and state in Israel. It is also a strong proponent of greater investment by the State of Israel in World Jewry and educational programs for the Jewish diaspora. The broadsheet newspaper is published daily Sunday to Friday, except for Jewish religious holidays and Independence Day, with no edition appearing on Saturday. Regular opinion columnists write on subjects such as religion, foreign affairs and economics.
