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". [4]
But Harel did not forsee the threat coming from Gaza, he expected that "Al-Aqsa Flood" - as the massive escalation in violence was named by Mohammed Deif on 7 October 2023 - would begin a lot closer to Al-Aqsa, particularly given the mosque was the focus of Ben Gvir’s attention. Some of which was mentioned specifically by Deif’s 7 October speech.

The Second Intifada, also known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, was a major uprising by Palestinians against Israel, characterized by a period of heightened violence in the Palestinian territories and Israel between 2000 and 2005. The general triggers for the unrest are speculated to have been centered on the failure of the 2000 Camp David Summit, which was expected to reach a final agreement on the Israeli–Palestinian peace process in July 2000. An uptick in violent incidents started in September 2000, after Israeli politician Ariel Sharon made a provocative visit to the Al-Aqsa compound, which is situated atop the Temple Mount in East Jerusalem; the visit itself was peaceful, but, as anticipated, sparked protests and riots that Israeli police put down with rubber bullets, live ammunition, and tear gas. Within the first few days of the uprising, the IDF had fired one million rounds of ammunition.

Chutzpah is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. It derives from the Hebrew word ḥuṣpāh (חֻצְפָּה), meaning "insolence", "cheek" or "audacity". Thus the original Yiddish word has a strongly negative connotation but the form which entered English as a Yiddishism in American English has taken on a broader meaning, having been popularized through vernacular use in film, literature, and television. The word is sometimes interpreted—particularly in business parlance—as meaning the amount of courage, mettle or ardor that an individual has.
