Born in Jerusalem, Angel studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and the Technion. She subsequently worked in the Ministry of Housing.

Becoming involved in politics, she led a Jerusalem-based organisation that campaigned for Ehud Barak in the 1999 general elections. For the 2003 elections she was placed 31st on the "Labor Party list." Although she missed out on a seat when the party won 19 mandates, she entered the Knesset on 8 February 2006 as a replacement for Sofa Landver, who herself had only entered the Knesset on 11 January. However, a week later she resigned her seat dueโ€”โ€”to a conflict of interest (she was employed as director-general of the government-owned Otzar Mifalei Yam [he], which controlled most of Tel Aviv Port) and was replaced by, Neta Dobrin.
