Ariel Harush (or Harosh, Hebrew: אריאל הרוש; born 25 May 1988) is an Israeli former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Harush's time at Beitar Jerusalem was featured in the 2016 documentary Forever Pure, where he stood against racism and hate from the fans toward two new Muslim Chechnyan players. Harush was ultimately hounded out the club by the right-wing fanbase La Familia and left to play for Maccabi Netanya.[citation needed]
Harush and teammate Tomer Hemed were suspended by the Israeli national team for two games in 2017 after criticising manager Elisha Levy.[1]
Harush retired in April 2026.[2]
