The Miss Israel beauty contest is no more. It was cancelled this year and the nation will not participate in the international Miss Universe competition which is scheduled to take place in the U.S. in January 2023, providing World War Three remains on hold.
“People change, [and] the world changes,” Linor Abargil, who is Miss Israel 1998 and is now a lawyer and practices Orthodox Judaism. She added in the Instagram post: “[A] woman is not a body or a face and no one in the world has the right to criticize us, or to assess our weight to see if it matches what is going on in the market.” [H/T Times of Israel]
Probably the most famous Israeli winner of Miss World is movie star Gal Gadot, who won the title in 2004.
Former Miss Israel, Sivan Klein, shared similar sentiments as Abargil while Miss Israel 2019, Sella Sharlin, believes the event could have been reformed.
The Miss Israel competition did not provide a reason for the contest’s cancellation, or indicate if it might be brought back at any point, announcing simply, “We will not participate in the Miss Universe contest this year.”
