RESTRICTION SUMMARY: Khan Younis, 18 December 2021. Palestinians attend in the “My Address Dress” event at the Qarara Cultural Museum in Khan Yunis, in the southern of Gaza Strip

0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Naglaa Abu Nahle, Director of Al Qarara Cultural Museum

STORYLINE:

Only a few days before the Miss Universe beauty pageant announces its winner for the year, contestants came under fire for photos they posted on social media showing them wearing Palestinian traditional dresses while staying in Israel, where the 2021 competition is being held.

Accused of culturally appropriating Palestinian culture, several contestants posted photos of what they described as "visiting a Bedouin village" without referring to the Palestinian population of these villages.

At least representatives of the Philippines, Haiti, Mauritius, and Armenia have been amongst the visitors to the Rahat village with a large Palestinian population.
