Miss Iraq And Miss Israel

Miss Iraq Sarah Idan's family was forced to flee the country after receiving death threats over a selfie the beauty queen took with Miss Israel during the Miss Universe pageant last month. Iraq does not recognise Israel and the two countries have no formal diplomatic relations.

The selfie caption may read "Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel", but the reaction to them posing together has prompted something closer to "push and shove".
