Palestine to compete at Miss Universe for the first time


For the first time, Palestine will be represented at the Miss Universe pageant, with 27-year-old Nadeen Ayoub set to compete in Bangkok this November.

The Miss Universe Organization confirmed that Ayoub, who was crowned Miss Palestine in 2022, will make history as the first woman to carry the Palestinian flag at the global competition. “Ms. Ayoub, an accomplished advocate and model from Palestine, embodies the resilience and determination that define our platform,” the organization said in a statement. “We look forward to welcoming Ms. Ayoub on the Miss Universe stage, where she will proudly represent Palestine alongside contestants from around the world.”

Ayoub will join more than 130 contestants at the 74th Miss Universe final, scheduled for Nov. 21 in Bangkok, Thailand.

On Instagram, Ayoub reflected on the significance of her participation, writing, “I am honored to announce that for the first time ever, Palestine will be represented at Miss Universe. Today, I step onto the Miss Universe stage not just with a title—but with a truth.”

Acknowledging the ongoing turmoil in Gaza, she added, “As Palestine endures heartbreak—especially in Gaza—I carry the voice of a people who refuse to be silenced. I represent every Palestinian woman and child whose strength the world needs to see. We are more than our suffering—we are resilience, hope, and the heartbeat of a homeland that lives on through us.”

Her entry comes amid growing global attention on the conflict in Gaza and increasing momentum for broader recognition of Palestinian statehood.
