As an activist, she works tirelessly to spread the truth about Israel amidst a sea of antisemitism. And as the former Miss Israel, she represented her country on the international stage. Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with Cochva to discuss her advocacy work, her experience on the Gaza border, and being assaulted by pro-Palestinian protesters in Times Square.

Noa Cochva is a renowned advocate for the state of Israel and a sought-after keynote speaker. She was crowned Miss Israel in 2021 and represented her country at the Miss Universe competition. A former combat medic in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who rose to become a commander in her unit, Cochva was called up from the reserves after the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, serving on the Gaza border for five months. Today, Cochva is fighting for Israel and the IDF in a different way, spreading the truth about Hamas’s brutality while shining a light on her country’s diligence in protecting and preserving human life.
