The Queen of Israel
1999 • E8 Oct 17, 1999
Charismatic beauty queen Rana Rasian made history earlier this year when she became the first Arab woman ever to be elected Miss Israel. Some felt the move signalled a new improvement in Arab-Jewish relations while others saw it as tokenism of the worst kind. Rasian takes her role very seriously and strives to represent her fellow Israelis whatever their views.
