OFFICIAL! Welp, sadly with other sources and from Israel national post, it has been confirmed Israel is officially withdraws from the 71st Miss Universe

The national pageant has been shut down permanently, ending a run of annual competitions that started in 1950. As a result, Israel will not be sending a contestant to the international Miss Universe contest to be held January in the US.

The move by organizers of the Israel contest, which was quietly announced last week, drew a range of responses from past winners, from lamenting the development to welcoming the event’s demise. In recent years the pageant has faced criticism for judging women on their physical appearance.
