Israeli Reporter Praises Colleague's Practical Footwear Choice at UN
During the United Nations General Assembly in New York, amidst significant international tension surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address, a lighthearted moment emerged from the Israeli press corps. Moria Asaraf, a reporter for Channel 13 News, shared an amusing anecdote on her Instagram account from behind the scenes of the event coverage. While Asaraf was dressed in formal high heels suitable for the occasion, her colleague, Suleiman Maswadeh, who had recently been appointed Channel 13's Washington correspondent, opted for comfort. Maswadeh, though wearing a sharp suit, was pictured wearing comfortable sneakers beneath the camera's view for the prolonged standing required during live broadcasts.
Asaraf posted a photo of herself and Maswadeh holding microphones, captioning it, "I need to learn from Suleiman and go back to sneakers for important diplomatic events. Comfort above all." Maswadeh's move to Washington follows his departure from the public broadcaster "Kan 11" along with Michael Shemesh to join "Reshet 13," which is currently undergoing a renewal under businessman Assaf Rappaport.
