Mukram Khoury (Hebrew: מכרם ח'ורי) (born: 1945, Jerusalem) is a Palestinian actor from the 1948 Arabs. He participated in many plays in many theaters in Israel. He also participated in television programs and cinematic films in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. He won the Israel Prize in the field of theater art in 1987 and has won some other awards.
Mukram Khoury was born in 1945 in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem to a Christian Palestinian family. His father, Jamil Khoury, was a judge in the Magistrate’s Court affiliated with the British Mandate authorities in Palestine. When the situation deteriorated after the outbreak of the 1948 war, the family immigrated to Lebanon, but returned before the Israeli-Lebanese border was closed and settled in the city of Acre. Later, the family moved again to the village of Kafr Yasif, located in Galilee. In 1963, Khoury began his university studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, but decided to leave it and devote his time to theater. When he was approximately twenty years old, Khoury traveled to London to learn the art of theater, and upon his return he joined the acting troupe at the Haifa Theater.
Khoury participated in more than 20 plays in the Haifa Theater, then participated in plays in all the major Israeli theaters, such as “Habima,” “Hakameri,” “Beit Leisen,” and the Beersheba Theater. At the end of the seventies, he began acting in films and television programs in Arabic and Hebrew. Khoury became particularly famous after playing the role of Abu Jamil, an Arab man from a traditional town, in a series teaching the Palestinian Arabic dialect directed by Israeli Educational Television. In 1983, Khoury played the main role in a drama series directed by Israeli television, “Michel Ezra Safra and His Sons,” in which he played a Syrian Jew from the city of Aleppo who heads a large, wealthy family in light of the tension emanating from World War II, the struggle for Syrian independence, and the Jewish-Arab conflict. After this series was broadcast, Makram Khoury became one of the most famous actors in Israel, and in 1987 he won the Israel Prize in the field of theater art. In 1984, Khoury also won two awards: the “Kinor David” Award (“David’s Lyre”) from the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper (an award given annually by the newspaper to prominent artists as voted on by readers by mail), and the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality Award.
