Israeli model Yael Shelbia may have been named the most beautiful woman in the world for 2020, but those who disagreed with TC Candler magazine's decision to crown her as such were not shy about leaving ugly messages on her Instagram account, flooding it with angry anti-Israel comments.

"Liberate Palestine," one person commented. "Your country does not exist. Palestine is the only legitimate country," another person wrote.
The post garnered many angry responses in Arabic depicting flags of Palestine, despite the fact that the winner is named based on the votes of viewers from all over the world.
One person wrote, "now all Jewish girls will think they have the most beautiful face in the world."
Nevertheless, the post received many encouraging responses too. "A wonderful achievement for our Israel," one person wrote.
"Very beautiful," wrote Israeli model Nataly Dadon in support of Shelbia.
"I can't believe that I am at the top of the list," Shelbia told Israel Hayom. "Thank you to everyone who voted for me."
