Early and personal life
Kayal was born in Jadei-Makr, Israel, near Haifa, Israel, to a Muslim-Arab family, and is an Arab-Israeli Muslim.
"I'm an Arab-Israeli," he said when talking about being an Arab-Israeli. I'm Arabic. People on the outside can't always get the bigger picture. They want to know how Jewish and Arabic people can live together. But, it's fine; I lived [in Israel] and loved it; and I got to know the people there. I have Jewish friends. It should not really matter whether you are talking about Arabs or Jews in sports. If someone says "Beram Kayal is an Arab player," I'm sure that is enough for me."
