Even though many media outlets have claimed she is one, Ghanafuo.com cannot ascertain these claims.

Per Wikipedia definition of a Jewish or Jew is someone who belongs to an ethnoreligious group and nation originating from the Israelites and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah.

It is said Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the ethnic religion of the Jewish people, although its observance varies from strict to none.
