Miss Israel Says She’s Receiving Threats After Viral ‘Side-Eye’ Clip Involving Miss Palestine

The Israeli contestant reports escalating abuse after a viral clip she disputes as misleading.

Overview

  • Melanie Shiraz says death and sexual-assault threats have forced her to add security in Thailand ahead of the Nov. 21 Miss Universe pageant.
  • A short video posted from Miss Palestine Nadeen Ayoub’s account appeared to show a hostile glance on stage and spread widely on social platforms.
  • Shiraz and supporters, including former Netanyahu spokesperson Eylon Levy, claim the clip was edited and cite alternate angles placing her behind Ayoub.
