You may wonder how a photo of four smiling women from the Miss Universe Pageant could cause a political incident. When the photo involves contestants from Lebanon and Israel, it becomes more understandable.
Doron Matalon, Miss Israel, posted a selfie of herself, Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia, and Miss Lebanon on Instagram a week ago.
The picture has drawn negative attention from the citizens of Lebanon and their media. Israel and Lebanon are technically at war, although the border has been largely quiet since their 2006 conflict. The Lebanese risk prison if they call or travel to Israel, and all Israeli products are banned in Lebanon.
People have demanded that Saly Greige, Miss Lebanon, be stripped of her title for consorting with the enemy. The arabic tv station Al Jadeed said that since one of Miss Lebanon’s hobbies is reading, she should have read that Lebanon and Israel were enemies.
Miss Lebanon posted the same photo 2 days ago with Miss Israel cropped out. Greige said that she had tried to be careful to not communicate with Miss Israel, but Miss Israel had tried more than once to take a picture with her. She claimed she was taking a photo with Miss Japan and Miss Slovenia when Miss Israel photo-bombed them.
