The three-hour pageant will be shown live in the United States and in 180 other territories around the world
It is the first time it is being held in Israel
“We in Israel are delighted to host the 70th anniversary celebrations of the iconic Miss Universe pageant,” says Yoel Razvozov, Israel’s tourism minister.

“I wish all participants good health and good luck and I look forward to seeing you all soon.”
