Oren Nahari, a prominent Israeli journalist and media figure known for his extensive coverage of foreign news, history, and international affairs, passed away at the age of 70. Nahari had been battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive and incurable muscle-wasting disease, which he publicly disclosed in March 2024. He revealed that his condition was rapidly deteriorating, affecting his limbs and forcing him to use a walker. Subsequently, Nahari retired from his radio programs, including "Shabbat with Oren Nahari" and the podcast "A Year in an Hour," both aired on Kan Reshet Bet.
Born in Haifa, Nahari began his television career in the late 1970s in the sports department before moving to Channel One's news division in 1985. There, he served as a foreign news correspondent and later as editor of foreign news. He was a founding figure behind influential foreign news programs such as "Ro'im Olam" and "Globus," which became staples on Channel One for many years. Alongside television, Nahari contributed to radio, wrote columns, and authored and edited books.
In recent years, Nahari was especially identified with his current affairs and history program on Kan Reshet Bet and his podcast. Despite his illness, he continued broadcasting until his condition forced him to step down. He also lectured on history, international relations, and current events, earning a reputation for connecting contemporary issues with broad historical contexts.
In an April interview with his wife, Vered Ariel-Nahari, he spoke candidly about preparing for the future after his diagnosis, even creating a computer folder titled "Oren's Death." Known as a senior journalist, former foreign desk editor, and expert in international affairs, Nahari described himself as "a man who believes in knowledge." He is survived by his wife, two children, and grandchildren.
