Miss Palestine’s connection to convicted terrorist leader revealed ahead of Miss Universe pageant
NY Post ^ | November 20, 2025 | By Caitlin Doornbos

TEL AVIV — The first-ever Miss Palestine contestant in the Miss Universe pageant married the son of Hamas’ most-wanted prisoner, Marwan Barghouti, and even named a child after him, The Post has learned.

Nadeen Ayoub — who claims to be a 27-year-old US and Canadian citizen living in Dubai — is competing this week to represent Palestine, a territory the US and Israel don’t even recognize as a sovereign state.

Strutting through preliminary rounds ahead of the pending pageant, Ayoub has kept most of her personal life under wraps — until now.

Years-old screenshots and social media posts obtained by The Post show she took pains to hide that she was once married to Sharaf Barghouti — son of the infamous Fatah leader serving five life sentences in Israel for orchestrating terror attacks that killed five people in 2001 and 2002.

The convicted murderer’s name resurfaced last month when Hamas demanded his release in hostage-exchange negotiations with Israel — a request the Jewish state flatly refused, citing his participation in the first intifada, leadership in the second, convictions in five terror-related murders and founding of the West Bank’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

Social media posts show Ayoub tied the knot with Sharaf Barghouti in 2016, later welcoming a son named Marwan three years later — seemingly in tribute to the convicted killer.

However, it is unclear if the pair remains married. A family member reached for comment confirmed to The Post that the two had been married, but denied knowledge of their current status.

In fairness, they’re all related. If you ruled out every Palestinian who’s a cousin or an in-law or other miscellaneous relative of a terrorist/militant/jihadi, you’d probably be ruling out the entire Palestinian population.

She could have knock-knees, buck teeth and a squint, but this resume guarantees her a win.

The pageant officials are clearly desperate for candidates when the pick is at the bottom of the corrupt barrel.

If the voting is like the Oscars or Nobel Peace Prize, she will win.

...27-year-old US and Canadian citizen living in Dubai.

And she's representing a mythical state that doesn't actually exist... Hmm! Maybe it's time review her actual status... Is there a passport for squatters?
