Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, claimed during his departure speech that Israel is the “most moral country in the world.” His speech took place at a UN Security Council meeting in New York where he discussed the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He expressed pride in representing his country and gestured to the Palestinian representative while emphasizing Israel’s moral standing. Erdan’s departure comes amid increasing tension between Israel and the UN following deadly strikes on a school in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has led to criticism from the international community, including Israel’s allies. Additionally, the UN secretary-general’s comments on the situation have sparked further controversy. Despite this, Israel’s new ambassador, Danny Danon, has vowed to address the diplomatic challenges ahead.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, recently had a meeting with Paul Okoye of Psquare and his elder brother Jude Okoye. This meeting occurred amidst reports of a new feud between Paul and his twin brother Peter, the other half of the popular music duo Psquare. Although the details of Obi’s message to the brothers have not been disclosed, Paul Okoye shared photos and videos of the visit on social media, captioning them: “Thank you very much and God bless you sir P.O.” In an open letter, Peter listed several songs he had written, including “Ejeajo,” “Get-Squared,” “Bizzy Body,” and “Personally,” which Paul had failed to acknowledge. Peter accused Paul of always using “I” and “me” in interviews, making it seem like he was the sole talent behind Psquare.

Chidimma Adetshina, the pageant hopeful who was forced to withdraw from Miss South Africa due to a nationality dispute, has been offered the opportunity to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria. In a video posted on her Instagram account, the 23-year-old expressed her excitement about taking part in Africa’s most prestigious beauty pageant. Adetshina withdrew from Miss South Africa this year after facing xenophobic backlash due to her Nigerian father and Mozambican mother, despite being a South African citizen. The Home Affairs department launched an investigation into her mother’s nationality, leading Adetshina to leave the competition for her family’s safety. Miss Universe Nigeria extended an invitation to Adetshina, offering her the chance to represent Nigeria on the international stage. As it stands, it is uncertain if Adetshina holds Nigerian nationality. The winner of Miss Universe Nigeria will go on to compete at the Miss Universe pageant. Meanwhile, South Africa’s Home Affairs department is continuing its investigation and considering potential legal action related to the alleged fraudulent activity regarding Adetshina’s citizenship. The Miss South Africa competition took place last Saturday, with Mia le Roux making history as the first deaf woman to win the crown. If Adetshina wins Miss Universe Nigeria, she will compete against le Roux at the Miss Universe competition in November.
