For the time in history, Palestine is stepping onto the Miss Universe stage at the 2025 pageant, set for November 21 in Thailand.
27-year-old Nadin Ayoub, a certified health and nutrition coach, won the Miss Palestine 2022 crown and will make history as the first-ever Palestinian representative. She also holds degrees in literature and psychology.
Nadin declared that she will stand for the oppressed Palestinian people, who continue to face mass atrocities, and become a voice for justice in Gaza.
She emphasized that Palestine will now shine and be heard globally, and remaining silent is no longer an option.
The 74th edition of Miss Universe 2025 will see 130 contestants from around the world competing for the coveted crown.
Maryam from UAE will also participate, alongside representatives from Iraq, Lebanon, and Iran.
