DUBAI: Saudi designer Honayda Serafi has revealed a holiday greeting card from Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah and Princess Rajwa Al-Hussein, which features a family photo of the royal couple and their newborn daughter, Princess Iman.

“Immensely thankful for God’s many blessings. From our small family that has grown to yours, best wishes for a blessed New Year,” the card reads.

Last year, Serafi designed Saudi-born Princess Rajwa’s pre-wedding henna night gown. For the gown, Serafi took inspiration from the Al-Shaby thobe of the Najd region in , where Princess Rajwa’s family is from.

“The thobe is known for its long sleeves. They’re so long, the sleeves become the veil of the bride’s dress,” said Serafi of the ethereal white gown.

Earlier this month, the couple visited the Seeds of Hope Center in Amman, which specializes in treating speech and language disorders in children and adults.

The royal couple, who welcomed their first child this year, toured the facility, which houses Jordan’s only space designed to provide multi-sensory experiences aimed at promoting relaxation and sensory integration. The visit also included a look at the center’s gym, which is tailored to improve therapy outcomes for patients, the Jordan News Agency reported.

Aya Al-Jazi, the center’s director, briefed the couple on the facility’s services, which include evaluation and treatment of speech, language and voice disorders, as well as support for swallowing difficulties.

Troll impersonates ‘Superman’ star David Corenswet on pledge to boycott Israeli film bodies

DUBAI: A person posing as “Superman” actor David Corenswet falsely signed his name to a pledge calling for a boycott of Israeli film institutions, leading organizers of the campaign, Film Workers for Palestine, to mistakenly list him among its supporters.

The actor’s name appeared among more than 5,000 signatories, including actors, directors and producers, before FWFP confirmed that the signature was fraudulent. The organization stated that an individual had gone to “great lengths to pretend to be David Corenswet,” and that once the impersonation was discovered, his name was “promptly removed.”

In an updated statement on Nov. 4, FWFP apologized for the incident and clarified that Corenswet “was never involved” in the boycott.

The pledge, launched on Sept. 8, calls on members of the entertainment industry to avoid collaborating with Israeli film institutions allegedly linked to “genocide and apartheid.” 

Among the signatories are Mark Ruffalo, Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Tilda Swinton, Riz Ahmed and Javier Bardem.

“As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognize the power of cinema to shape perceptions,” the pledge, launched on Sept. 8, stated.

“In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror,” it added.
