The President is set to dine with the beautiful Miss Israel, Yityish
Aynaw, when he makes his first visit to the state as a U.S. leader. But
no worries...it's all innocent.
White House officials insisted that the 22-year-old beauty be
invited to the gala dinner, hosted by Israel's president Shimon Peres,
after hearing how she became the first Israeli of Ethiopian origin to
win the beauty queen contest.
The mass circulation Yedioth Ahronot newspaper reported
that Ms Aynaw – who emigrated to Israel from Ethiopia with her Jewish
grandparents after the death of her mother when she was 12 – would have
the chance to exchange pleasantries with the president.
She told the newspaper that Mr Obama's status as America's first
black president had inspired her to make him the subject of her high
school graduation essay.
"For me, he is a role model who broke down barriers, a source of
inspiration that proves that every person really can reach any height,
regardless of their religion, race or gender," she said.
