Born in the United States and raised in Canada, the Dubai-based Miss Palestine has been welcomed to the Miss Universe pageant.
Nadeen Ayoub will be the first ‘Miss Palestine’ to compete at the Miss Universe 2025 pageant in Thailand this coming November, the Miss Universe Organization (MUO) confirmed to CNN.
“The Miss Universe Organization proudly welcomes delegates from across the globe, celebrating diversity, cultural exchange, and the empowerment of women,” Miguel Ángel Martínez, MUO head of communications, wrote in an email to CNN.
“Ms. Ayoub, an accomplished advocate and model from Palestine, embodies the resilience and determination that define our platform,” Martínez added.
