Yedioth Ahronoth (יְדִיעוֹת אַחֲרוֹנוֹת Latest News; 1939 - present) is a daily newspaper founded in Mandatory Palestine and published in Tel Aviv. Started by Gershom Komarov, Yedioth Ahronoth was the first evening newspaper in the British Mandate of Palestine and attempted to emulate the format of the London Evening Standard. Karomov soon sold the paper to Yehuda Mozes due to financial difficulties, whose sons, Reuben and Noah ran the paper. A large group of journalists and other staff members, led by chief editor Ezriel Carlebach, left Yedioth Ahronoth to form Yedioth Maariv in 1948, which led to a long-standing feud between the newspapers. The feud peaked in the 1990s when it was discovered that both newspapers had bugged their rival's phone lines. Although less well-known outside of Israel than papers such as Haaretz, which is published in both Hebrew and English, Yedi'oth Aharonot in recent decades has been Israel's largest paid newspaper by sales and circulation. It is seen as having a centrist political orientation, publishing editorials from across the political spectrum, and is published in a tabloid format.
