From Miss Iraq says pic with Miss Israel ‘about peace,’ not support for Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMiss Iraq is defending a picture she shared together with Miss Israel saying it was an expression of a desire for peace and not a show of support for the government of Israel.
“I want to stress that the purpose of the picture was only to express hope and desire for peace between the two countries,” Miss Iraq Sarah Idan says in an Instagram post.
The photo “does not signal support for the government of Israel and does not mean I agree or accept its policies in the Arab homeland,” she says.
Idan also apologizes “to all those who consider [the picture] harmful to the Palestinian cause.”
