Dan MargalitDan Margalit (born 1939) is an Israeli journalist and columnist. Margalit has a Master's degree in Modern Jewish history and a Bachelor's degree in international relations. Margalit started writing for Haaretz in the 1960s. He became famous when in 1977, while serving as Haaretz's Washington correspondent, he revealed that Israeli prime minister at the time, Yitzhak Rabin illegally had a United States bank account. The story led to Rabin's resignation and the nomination of Shimon Peres as the Israeli Labour Party's candidate for prime minister. Margalit has been one of the regular hosts of the Israeli Educational Television's current affairs show "Erev Hadash" since its early days in 1982. In 1992 he was appointed editor of Maariv by publisher Ofer Nimrodi, but he resigned about six months later, throwing accusations at the Nimrodi family. In 1996 he moderated the prime ministerial debate between Benjamin Netanyahu and Peres. During the 1990s he hosted current affairs panel shows on Israeli public television and later on commercial television. In 2001 he resigned from Haaretz and started writing editorials in Maariv. In 2003 he left public television, throwing accusations at the management of the Israeli Broadcasting Authority. Since 2004 he hosts a current affairs panel show on Israel's Channel 10. Margalit's views, as expressed in his columns, are those of the Israeli security-oriented moderate left. He has been an avid supporter of the Israeli West Bank barrier back when it was unpopular amongst the political and military establishments.
