Ofran has had stones thrown at her by settlers and death threats spray-painted on her home on multiple occasions.

Ofran considers herself a Zionist: "The term Zionism has been hijacked, but I would call myself a Zionist by my own definition...I support the State of Israel as the home of the Jews. But in my Zionism, the Palestinians have full rights. And if one day the residents of the state elect a Palestinian as prime minister, so be it. It's not a threat."

Personal life Ofran lives in Jerusalem with her partner and three children.
