Dorrit Moussaieff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Personal Life

Moussaieff married twice. The first, was with a Jewish designer named Neil Zarak, but they got divorced. Moussaieff did not remarry for the next 30 years until she married the President of Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson.

Moussaieff says that she's "religious in the soul" and she still follows some aspects of Judaism. For example, on the eve of Hanukkah, she remembered that she was supposed to light the first candle of the menorah. A menorah was found for her and after lighting the candle, she taught her husband about the holiday. In May 2006, while visiting Israel, Moussaieff was detained at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. According to reports, Moussaieff got into an argument with security personnel who refused to acknowledge her British passport.

Immigration officers stated that she was obliged by Israeli law to enter and exit the country using her Israeli passport only, or face prosecution. When Moussaieff could not produce an Israeli passport, it is alleged that staff became rude and aggressive, asking her suggestive, personal and racist questions. Moussaieff reportedly responded with various insults of her own by saying, "This is about to become a serious diplomatic incident. This is why everyone hates Jews." Part of the incident was captured on film and shown on Israeli television. This caused a minor international incident since it involved the first lady of Iceland. The Israeli Embassy in Norway, which handles diplomatic ties with Iceland, later expressed regret over the incident, though it restated the law that Israeli citizens must carry their Israeli passports when in the country. Moussaieff carries an Israeli and a British citizenship and received Icelandic citizenship on 31 July 2006.

Many Icelandic people did not like the way that their First Lady was treated by the Israeli workers at the airport. They said, "It was a shock to us to hear how Dorrit Moussaieff was treated, especially since she has been active in introducing Jewish culture in our country in a very positive way."
