Elon was born in Vienna in 1925 and migrated to Palestine in 1933. In the 1950s and later, Elon served as a European and American correspondent for the newspaper Haaretz . Except for the period 1971-1978, he worked for Haaretz until 2001. For many years, he was widely regarded as one of Israel's leading journalists.

Elon has been the author of many books on modern Jewish and Israeli historical and social subjects. Among them, translated into many languages:
  • ''Journey Through a Haunted Land - the new Germany''

  • ''The Israelis, Founders and Sons''

  • ''Herzl, a biography''

  • ''Flight into Egypt''

  • ''Timetable,'' a novel

  • ''Jerusalem, Battleground of Memory''

  • ''A Blood-dimmed Tide- Dispatches from the Middle East''

  • ''Founder, the first Rothschild''

  • ''The Pity of it All, German Jews before Hitler''


During the 1990s, Elon began to spend much of his time in Italy , and in 2004 he announced that he was moving there permanently, citing disillusionment with developments in Israel since 1967.
