Issacharoff was born in Jerusalem.[3] He is a graduate of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and holds an MA from Tel Aviv University.[3]

From 2005 until 2012, he was the Palestinian and Arab affairs correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.[3] He is a former correspondent with Israel Radio where he won the 2002 "Best Reporter" award for his coverage of the Second Intifada.[2][3] He has written and directed short documentary films broadcast on television in Israel.[2]

In 2014 Issacharoff and a cameraman were attacked and beaten by "masked Palestinian rioters" while covering a violent protest demonstration at Beitunia. According to Issacharoff's account, the two were set upon after a Palestinian journalist pointed them out to the crowd as Israelis.[4][5]
