The Morning (Habokar)  was a daily newspaper published between 1935-1965 and represented the broad view of the general Zionists.

“The Morning” newspaper was founded on the initiative of the “Civil Circles” activists in the settlement – urbanites, bourgeois, and peasants who mostly belonged to the middle class, headed by Israel Rokah and Meir Dizengoff. As a counterweight to the leading daily newspaper in the settlement, “Davar” of the General Histadrut of the Workers in the Land of Israel, and the “Haaretz” newspaper, which was also identified with the “Civil Circles”, but was considered moderate and liberal, while “Habokar” sought to promote a center-right view. For the establishment of the newspaper, donations were collected from a number of capitalists, including Sheftel Mirenburg from the owner of Agrobank, the industrialist Yitzhak Lichtenstein, the contractor David Ilgovski and others
