Jebreal was born in Haifa, Israel, to Othman Jebreal and Zakia, and grew up in Jerusalem.[6] Her father was an imam and groundskeeper at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.[6] Her mother, who suffered from severe abuse in her childhood, committed suicide by walking into the sea[9] when Jebreal was 5.[10] She and her sister Rania were put into the Dar El-Tifel orphanage by their father,[9][10] in 1978, until 1991. She was raised in the orphanage, and regards its founder, Hind Husseini, as her teacher and mother, crediting her with saving her life.[11]
In 1993 she received a scholarship from the Italian government to study medicine at the University of Bologna, where she graduated with a degree in physiotherapy.
Career[edit] Journalism[edit]Jebreal worked as a journalist in Italy for twelve years. In 2006 she worked with Michele Santoro as an interviewer on AnnoZero, a political television show in Italy.[12]
Books and films[edit]
Jebreal and Julian Schnabel, 2010
Jebreal wrote her first novel Miral in 2003. It was eventually made into a film that was directed by Julian Schnabel, from Jebreal’s screenplay.[4][9][13]
Jebreal’s second novel The Bride of Aswan was published in 2007. Her third book, Rejected, is a non-fiction study based on interviews with immigrants who have either made their way to successful careers in Italy or otherwise live on the margins of Italian society.[14]
Personal life[edit]She has a daughter whose father is an Italian artist.[4]
In 2013, she married Arthur Altschul, Jr., son of banker Arthur Altschul and member of the Lehman family.[2] The couple divorced in 2016 after she had an affair with Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.[15]
She is fluent in four languages: Italian, English, Arabic and Hebrew.[16] She describes herself as a “secular Muslim”.[17]
