Egypt’s Miss Universe Is Taking A Stand Against Israel’s Participation
In the world of beauty pageants, there’s usually glitz, glamour, and plenty of dazzling smiles. But every now and then, a serious issue emerges in the midst of the sparkle. This year, Miss Universe Egypt 2023, Mohra Tantawy, has found herself at the center of a controversy that goes beyond the catwalk
A Controversial Return to Miss Universe
The Miss Universe Organization recently announced that Miss Universe Israel would be returning to the competition after a hiatus. Israel’s participation had paused in 2021, largely due to growing debates about its relevance in today’s evolving social standards. However, this year’s decision to bring Miss Israel back hasn’t exactly been met well.
In particular, this move sparked concern among some of the Arab participants, with many feeling it clashed with their personal beliefs and values.
Mohra Tantawy’s Powerful Statement
Mohra Tantawy, the current Miss Universe Egypt, was not shy about voicing her opinion on the matter. She took to Instagram to share her feelings on Israel’s return, expressing her strong opposition to their participation.
“As an Arab woman and an advocate for peace,” Tantawy said, the inclusion of Israel in the pageant “conflicts with the values she holds dear.” For her, this wasn’t just about the competition itself but about standing in solidarity with her people and defending her principles on a global stage.
Support Floods In
While taking such a public stand could easily invite criticism, Tantawy has been met with overwhelming support. People from all over the world have been flooding her social media with messages of encouragement. They praised her for staying true to her values and speaking up for what she believes in.
Beauty Beyond the Miss Universe Crown
Mohra Tantawy’s stand is a reminder that being Miss Universe isn’t just about beauty or talent—it’s about having a platform. For many, it’s a chance to speak out on the global stage about issues that matter, and Tantawy is using her voice in a way that many others have applauded.
