The Israel-Palestine conflict has been going on since last October. Recently, a pro-Palestine protest was organized in New York and during the rally, Miss Israel Champion 2021 and model Noa Cochva was attacked.
While speaking to New York Post, the model was quoted saying, “We just saw a huge pro-Palestinian rally, and we wanted to go and do our own thing… And then they recognized us when they saw our flag and they threw down our flag… and they came down and one of the guys hit me. I had a black eye, I have never had a black eye before.”
Noa added, “I feel like if you’re a police officer, and you see a woman get hit in the face, you should probably find the guy because that’s your job.”
