He made later a film on the Jewish refugees ( Silent Exodus ) describing the fate of the million Jews expelled from Arab countries after 1948, but deliberately forgot to describe his own community from Algeria, considering that the Algerian war was a political problem involving France more than the Jewish community.

In January 2008, Rehov was in the 4/1 US cavalry in Baghdad and Durah, where he filmed hours of dailies, showing the situation in Iraq from the field. Those images are part of his documentary The Path to Darkness.

He advocates a ], for Palestinians and Israelis to live side by side, but does not believe that peace will be possible for many generations. He finds that many Palestinian actions inside and out of their community are a setback to a peaceful solution.


In 2008 Rehov moved to the United States due to what he described as a in France and the rest of Europe. Three years later, in November 2011, he moved to Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives.

Pierre Rehov is the pseudonym of a French–Israeli documentary filmmaker, director and novelist, most known for his movies about the Arab–Israeli conflict and Israeli–Palestinian conflict, its treatment in the media, and about terrorism. Rehov is also a fiction writer, whose novels have enjoyed some success in France, and several have been translated into English and German.

Life

Rehov was born to a Jewish family from Algiers, when Algeria was still a French department. He experienced terrorism at a young age when his school was the target of a terror attack conducted by the "FLN" (Algerian National Front of Liberation). In 1961, his family became a part of pieds-noirs (French people living in Algeria when Algeria was still part of France) fleeing from Algeria in fear of reprisal massacres by Algerians against their non-Muslim neighbors.

Rehov says he was not any sort of activist until he saw the death of Muhammad al-Durrah on television, and doubted its authenticity - a claim later questionned in French courts to be defamatory in the case against Philippe Karsenty because, according to the Judges, "karsenty didn't have the proof, in hands, that Palestinians actually killed the kid, when he was sued by the French TV channel France 2".


In January 2008, Rehov was embedded in the 4/1 US cavalry in Baghdad and Durah, where he filmed hours of dailies, showing the situation in Iraq from the field. Those images are part of his documentary The Path to Darkness.

In 2008 Rehov moved to the United States due to what he described as a growing climate of antisemitism in France and the rest of Europe. Three years later, in November 2011, he moved to Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives.

As a journalist and commentator, he writes regulartly in Le Figaro, Valeurs Actuelle, The Gatestone Institute, The Jerusalem Post and many political blogs, including Dreuz and Atlantico.

Rehov is married to Sharon Yambem, a Jewish immigrant to Israel from India. From a previous mariage he has a son, who lives in Singapore and a daughter who is an actress and lives in New York. A third child was born in 2022 from his second marriage.
