No funeral arrangements were announced as of Friday morning. Born and raised in Nazareth Illit (Nof Hagalil), Israeli entered the media world some 15 years ago as a music critic and a feature writer for the entertainment weekly Rating.
He went on to work in a variety of media outlets, writing primarily on culture and entertainment. Among his positions was deputy managing editor of the Maariv LaNoar youth magazine, a reporter for the NRG portal, and a music and culture reporter for Israel Hayom.
He was the editor of the lifestyle and culture sections on the Israel Hayom website and later became the site's feature editor. His last position at Israel Hayom was managing editor of the Shishabat weekly magazine supplement.
Israel Hayom Editor-in-Chief Omer Lachmanovitch eulogized Israeli, saying, "Raz was a creative spirit imbued with passion and delicate touch. He loved and lived culture with every fiber of his being and contributed heavily to that world through his significant journalistic work. He will be greatly missed by his former colleagues at Israel Hayom. We all share the pain of the family and convey our sorrow to them."
May his memory be a blessing.
