He joined Haaretz in 1993, and founded Haaretz’s English edition in 1997. He served as Ha’aretz’s editor-in-chief from 2004 to 2008.
Landau was an Orthodox Jew, and politically very left, not a particularly common combination.
The funeral will be held on Wednesday, January 28, at Har Hamenuchot at 4pm.
