Earlier, I told you about President Barack Obama’s plans to dine with the first black Miss Israel during his extended trip to Israel last week.
White House officials confirmed that Mr. Obama “insisted” upon inviting the beautiful Yityish Aynaw, 22, to a gala dinner hosted by Shimon Peres, Israel’s president.
Judging from the above photo, Mr. Obama looked absolutely smitten when he laid eyes on the tall, raving beauty for the first time. Mrs. Obama — who vacationed separately from her husband last month — didn’t make the trip to Israel.
Aynaw, an Ethiopian Jewish immigrant, is the first black Miss Israel in Israel’s history. She was crowned Miss Israel earlier this year.
“It’s time that someone from my community, someone with my skin color, who is Israeli just like everyone else, represent the country,” she said in a recent interview.
