Rula Jebreal (Arabic: رولا جبريل, Hebrew: רולא ג'בריל; born 24 April 1973) is a Palestinian[3][4] foreign policy analyst, journalist, novelist and screenwriter with dual Israeli and Italian citizenship. She was a commentator for MSNBC.[5]

Early life and education

Jebreal was born in Haifa, Israel, to Nigeria-born Sufi imam Othman Jebreal and Zakia, and grew up in Jerusalem.[6] Her father was an imam and groundskeeper at Al-Aqsa.[6] Her mother, who suffered from severe abuse in her childhood, committed suicide by walking into the sea and drowning when Jebreal was 5.[7][8] She and her sister Rania were put into the Dar El-Tifel orphanage by their father,[7][8] 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.[9]

In 1993, she received a scholarship from the Italian government to study at the University of Bologna, where she graduated with a degree in physiotherapy.[citation needed]

Her collaboration with Julian SchnabelonMiral, extended beyond the movie. Jebreal was in a relationship with him from 2007 to 2011.[14][15][16]
