Taroudant - American pop star Janet Jackson, accompanied by her billionaire Qatari husband Wissam al-Mana, arrived in the West Bank on Wednesday on an unannounced visit to the occupied Palestinian territory.
The Pop star, who has reportedly converted to Islam after she married Wissam al Mana in 2012, is on a visit to the West Bank to promote peace as an ambassador for the United Nations children's charity UNICEF.
The UNICEF goodwill ambassador posted pictures on her Twitter account of herself posing with “beautiful Palestinian students” at Yatta High School, West Bank.
