Speaking on Sky News’ ”The World With Yalda Hakim,” the contestant said: “I don't want people to be thinking when they hear the word Palestine, to just be thinking of suffering and pain.
“So just like we hear the word 'Italy' and we think of beautiful things, like the Amalfi Coast and pizza and pasta.
“When we think of other nations, we think of their heritage and their culture and their identity, and we see them as human beings. I want the same thing for Palestine to show the world that we are human beings, and that is simply my message.”
