'''Miss Israel''' (also referred to as {{langx|he|מיס ישראל}}, {{Transliteration|he|Malkat HaYōfî}}, {{Literal translation|The Beauty Queen}}) is a national beauty pageant in [[Israel]]. The pageant was founded in 1950 and the winners were sent to [[Miss Universe]].

==History== In the late 1920s, a "[[Esther|Queen Esther]] Beauty Pageant" was held in [[Tel Aviv]], centred on the holiday of [[Purim]]. The first Miss Israel took place in 1950, two years after Israel's independence.<ref name="timesofisrael.com">[https://www.timesofisrael.com/miss-israel-2017-the-social-media-beauty-queen/ Miss Israel 2017, The social media beauty queen]</ref>

From then onwards, Miss Israel was the national franchise holder for [[Miss Universe]], [[Miss World]], and [[Miss International]]. The pageant's official winner represented Israel at Miss Universe and the runners-up at Miss World, Miss International, and [[Miss Europe]]. The winner also occasionally competed at other international pageants, such as Miss World in 1953, 1968, 1992, 1996–1998; Miss International in 1963; [[Miss Asia Pacific International]]; and [[Miss Earth]].

In 2022, the original organizers ([[LaIsha]]) cancelled the pageant amid controversies over its relevance to modern social standards.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Times of Israel |title=Miss Israel beauty pageant canceled after more than 70 years |date=November 13, 2022 |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/miss-israel-beauty-pageant-canceled-after-more-than-70-years/}}</ref> It was then restarted under new management, and in 2024, the Miss Universe Israel pageant was organized by Edgar Saakyan, owner of Edgar Entertainment.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/07/20/will-this-israeli-be-miss-universe/ |title=Will this Israeli be Miss Universe? |website=Israel Hayom |date=20 July 2025 |access-date=2026-03-18}}</ref>. Edgar Entertainment held the event in [[Miami, Fl]] in 2024 and 2025, with participation by Israeli contestants.

===Pageant rules=== As part of reforms introduced in the early 2020s, eligibility requirements for Miss Israel were expanded. Contestants must be at least 18 years old and hold Israeli citizenship. Restrictions related to marital status, motherhood, height, and weight were removed, allowing married and divorced women, as well as mothers, to participate. Candidates must not have a criminal record or be associated with explicit or erotic content.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Israel |first=Miss Universe |title=Miss Universe Israel |url=https://missisrael.org/apply |access-date=2026-03-18 |website=Miss Universe Israel |language=en-US}}</ref>
