Journalism career[edit]

Warnings of a Third Intifada in 2023[edit]
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]
- 3 February 2023 - "Will far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s chutzpah trigger a third intifada?"[3]
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.
