Miss Israel and Miss Lebanon appear in a selfie, sparking a new Mideast conflict

There is breaking news in the Middle East.

“Miss Lebanon’s selfie with Miss Israel sparks uproar.”

That was Monday morning’s headline in The Daily Star, a Lebanese newspaper.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz went with: “Asymmetrical warfare: Did Miss Israel photobomb Miss Lebanon?”

In case you didn't know, preparations for the 63rd Miss Universe beauty pageant are underway in Miami. It appears that many selflies are taken during this period.

Miss Lebanon had had her photograph taken with Miss Switzerland, Miss Bolivia, Miss Panama, Miss Kosovo, Miss Lithuania, Miss Nicaragua, Miss Croatia, Miss Italy, Miss Malaysia, Miss Georgia and many, many other Misses.

But not Miss Israel.
