Knafo was born in Les Pavillons-sous-Bois to a family of Maghrebi Jewish ancestry who had roots in Algeria and Morocco.

During her studies, she worked as an intern at the French embassy in Libya (at the time relocated to Tunisia). During that time, she also conducted research into illegal immigration routes from Africa into Europe. In 2020, she began working as a civil servant in Seine-Saint-Denis and became a magistrate. In 2021, L'Express reported that she has been advising Éric Zemmour, a friend of her family, in the event of putting his name for the candidacy for the 2022 French presidential election. L'Obs magazine also claimed she had facilitated meetings between Zemmour and Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, as well as Laurent Wauquiez and Marion Maréchal. In October 2021, she was named as one of Zemmour's campaign directors for his presidential campaign bid and Reconquête party. Personal life
