Upon the initiative of Chaim Weiszburg, a leader of the Zionist movement, Uj Kelet was launched as a weekly on December 19, 1918. It became a daily in 1920. The first editor was Béla Székely, who was succeeded in 1919 by Ernő Márton.
From 1927 until the end of its Transylvanian period, the editor was Ferenc Jámbor. After the Hungarian annexation of Cluj in 1940, the Horthy regime banned the paper because of its strong Zionist line. Márton emigrated to Palestine (Eretz Israel) after World War II, and in 1948, with David Schon the paper reappeared under his editorship in Tel Aviv. Among the known writers in the newspaper, in the period of his concert in Israel, there were Alexander Sauber, Rudolf Kastner, Yossef Lapid, Ephraim Kishon, Ottó Rappaport, Elemer Diamant, David Drori, Pal Benedek.
Between 1993–2015 George Edri was the owner of Új Kelet.
Új Kelet is currently the Independent Hungarian Language Israeli Paper as of January 2016 and is published on a monthly basis. Friends of Új Kelet.[1]
