Amos Harel is an Israeli journalist.
He graduated from Tel Aviv University and lives in Hod Hasharon. [1]
As of 2014 he is the military and defense analyst for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz . [1] [2]
From 1999 to 2005 Harel anchored a weekly program about defense issues on Army Radio. [1] Before becoming the military analyst for Haaretz, he spent four years as the night editor of the printed Hebrew edition. [1]
In the year leading up to the war in Gaza, Harel's work was very critical of Itamar Ben Gvir and other far right members of the Knesset. Harel repeatedly expressed concern that Ben Gvir’s far right policies, provocative actions, and "Chutzpah" [3] would lead to a "third intifada".
This was a common concern in Israel in the year before October 2023, but went largely unnoticed except in media focused on the Middle East. [5]
However, Harel did not foresee the escalation coming from Gaza, instead he predicted increased violence in the West Bank and Jerusalem. [4]
