"What is the hand gesture that the woman in the photo is making?"

If the photo is within the last few years, it could be appropriation of the UAE sign for Patriotism. If so, she is signing "I love Nazism", or "I am loyal to Nazism". Desert Arabs characteristically communicate with gestures, more than most other cultures.

"Since its inception in 2013, the Three Finger Salute has become a trademark of the nation, and locals, expats, and prominent Emiratis have adopted it as a symbol of love for the UAE. You can see the "W," "V," and "L" that that the hand forms below."

Arabic alphabet presumably used in the Emirates...

So which ones correspond to the W, V, L?

Of course I'm assuming your symbol was meant to comminicate to literate Arab speaking people, not English speakers....?
