Abu Rahmoun was born in Reineh, a town in northern Israel to Arab Christian parents. She earned a bachelor's degree in political science and communications, before studying for a master's degree in political science at Bar-Ilan University.[1] She subsequently worked as teacher at the high school in Bu'eine Nujeidat between 2008 and 2018, teaching civics.[1]
A member of Balad since 1998,[1] Abu Rahmoun was placed 19th on the Joint List (an alliance of the four main Arab parties) prior to the 2015 Knesset elections.[2] Although the party won only 13 seats, Abu Rahmoun entered the Knesset on 8 August 2018 as a replacement for Wael Younis as part of a rotation agreement within the alliance.[3] She did not contest the April 2019 elections, and lost her seat.
Married with two children, Abu Rahmoun lives in Bu'eine Nujeidat.[1]
