On Saturday, Bella Hadid shared a sweet tribute to her Palestinian grandmother. The supermodel posted a childhood picture of herself with siblings Gigi and Anwar along with the simple text “I miss my Teta” and a heart emoji over Insta Stories.
Mohamed Hadid posted the same image on his own profile. The real estate developer, and father to supermodels Bella and Gigi, reposted the picture, along with touching words for his mother, who died in 2008.
“Bella posted this picture of herself with Anwar and Gigi and the Princess of Nazareth her Tata. Bella is aware of her culture and her heritage,” he wrote in the caption. “If you are Palestinian, we should be proud."
This is not the first time Mohamed has paid tribute to his mother Khairiah Hadid, nee Daher.
In the past, he has often shared photos and talked about her royal heritage. His mother is a descendent of Daher Al Omer, who was the Arab ruler of northern Palestine until 1774, Mohamed has said.
He has shared how much his children loved her, and has said she would have been proud of her grandchildren today.
"My Mom (Allah Yerhamha) Khairia Daher Hadid would have been so proud of @gigihadid today," he wrote in a post in April 2020. "Gigi loved everything about Tata. Gigi won first place in an art competition of a portrait of her Tata. This picture was taking 1955 in Beirut. She was a stunner. Great mom, a wife, a Tata to 30 or so grandkids. We and I miss her every time I breathe. Look down from above."
It’s clear that she holds a special place in the family’s heart, as Gigi named her daughter Khai, who she shares with singer Zayn Malik, after her.
Bella’s middle name “Khair” is also a nod to their grandmother, while brother Anwar is named after his grandfather.
The Hadid family regularly post pictures highlighting their Middle Eastern and Palestinian heritage. Mohamed and his family were among those who left Palestine during the Nakba of 1948.
Mohamed's niece, Lina Hadid, also recently posted an old photo of her uncle and her mother – who is currently in a coma in Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC – in Damascus, after they left Palestine.
"Nakba survivors generally don't have many photos of their childhood," Lina wrote in the caption on Instagram. "After the Hadid family was violently forced out of Palestine in 1948, they first walked to Damascus, Syria. This is a photo of my Mother and uncle Mohamed from the early 1950s in Syria.
"One month ago, when I was home for the holidays, my Mother showed me this picture and said -- look at me and my brother Mohamed, we looked like dolls. Little Palestinian refugee dolls."
Bella also shared this post on her Insta Stories.
Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
Four motivational quotes from Alicia's Dubai talk
“The only thing we need is to know that we have faith. Faith and hope in our own dreams. The belief that, when we keep going we’re going to find our way. That’s all we got.”
“Sometimes we try so hard to keep things inside. We try so hard to pretend it’s not really bothering us. In some ways, that hurts us more. You don’t realise how dishonest you are with yourself sometimes, but I realised that if I spoke it, I could let it go.”
“One good thing is to know you’re not the only one going through it. You’re not the only one trying to find your way, trying to find yourself, trying to find amazing energy, trying to find a light. Show all of yourself. Show every nuance. All of your magic. All of your colours. Be true to that. You can be unafraid.”
“It’s time to stop holding back. It’s time to do it on your terms. It’s time to shine in the most unbelievable way. It’s time to let go of negativity and find your tribe, find those people that lift you up, because everybody else is just in your way.”

$1,000 award for 1,000 days on madrasa portal
Daily cash awards of $1,000 dollars will sweeten the Madrasa e-learning project by tempting more pupils to an education portal to deepen their understanding of math and sciences.
School children are required to watch an educational video each day and answer a question related to it. They then enter into a raffle draw for the $1,000 prize.
“We are targeting everyone who wants to learn. This will be $1,000 for 1,000 days so there will be a winner every day for 1,000 days,” said Sara Al Nuaimi, project manager of the Madrasa e-learning platform that was launched on Tuesday by the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, to reach Arab pupils from kindergarten to grade 12 with educational videos.
“The objective of the Madrasa is to become the number one reference for all Arab students in the world. The 5,000 videos we have online is just the beginning, we have big ambitions. Today in the Arab world there are 50 million students. We want to reach everyone who is willing to learn.”

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
