Nadeen Ayoub First Miss Palestine to Join Miss Universe 2025

Nadeen Ayoub will step onto the Miss Universe 2025 stage in Thailand as the first person to represent Palestine in the pageant’s history. Crowned Miss Palestine in 2022, her international debut has been years in the making.

Ayoub, who has watched events in her homeland unfold from abroad, says she wants her appearance to “humanise Palestinians and challenge global stereotypes.” She dedicates her participation to the people of Gaza and Palestine “who refuse to be silenced.
