What happened to Miss Iraq after selfie with Miss Israel
Shares
BAGHDAD - Miss Iraq Sarah Idan and her family were forced to flee their country after receiving death threats over a 'peace' selfie with Miss Israel Adar Gandelsman.
Last month, Idan posted the photo online with caption “Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel #missuniverse” and heart emojis.
The 20-year-old beauty pageant contestant received several backlashes for the photo. The Instagram post was filled with curses at her for hurting the Palestinian cause.
Idan has yet not removed the photo from her Instagram account.
Iraq does not have formal diplomatic relations with Israel. Both the countries Iraqi and Israeli forces fought against each other in 1948, 1967 and 1973.
