Fares caused great resentment among the Druze community when she decided to compete in the Miss Israel beauty contest and became a finalist. She received threats which led to the arrest of five people, among them two of her uncles, for planning to murder her. Following those threats and the pressure that was put on her by the Druze religious leadership, she finally withdrew from the contest and later from her high school.[3][4] Her sister, Jamila "Maya" Fares, was murdered in 2011, many suspect by members of the Druze community.[2]
