Yehoshafat Harkabi

Yehoshafat Harkabi

Yehoshafat Harkabi (1921-1994) was chief of Israeli military intelligence from 1955 until 1959. He is known primarily for his gradual development from uncompromising hardliner to a PLO state. Following his military career Harkabi served as a visiting professor at Princeton University and as a guest scholar at the Brookings Institute. He was Maurice Hexter professor and director of the Leonard Davis Institute of International Relations and Middle East Studies at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

According to intelligence insider Yoel Ben-Porat, Harkabi was the only commander of military intelligence to have had a good command of Arabic, in addition to genuinely professional knowledge of Arab civilization and history, and of Islam.

In what is perhaps his most well-known work, "Israel's Fateful Hour", Harkabi described himself as a "Machiavellian dove" intent on searching "for a policy by which Israel can get the best possible settlement of the conflict in the Middle East" (1988, p. xxv) - a policy that would include a Zionism "of quality and not of acreage" (p. 225).
