now is the major international beauty pageant Miss Earth in the asian country the Philippines. Usually, it’s all about beauty, bikinis and pretty dresses. But in between you can also go politics in a beauty pageant.

It happened earlier in the week, as Miss Earth Lebanon, Salwa akar’s, posed for a photograph together with Miss Earth Israel, Dana Zreik. From the picture skønhedsdronninger arms around each other. And they provide both the so-called fredstegn to the camera.

the Image circulated quickly on social media. And it was not long before the organization behind the Miss Earth in Lebanon reacted strongly to the picture and issued a press release to the local media, where they categorically rejected any relations with Israel, and at the same time they announced that they had deprived Miss Lebanon of her title.

It writes multiple media including the Daily Mail, the Jerusalem Post

From the israeli side came quickly retort. The Arabic-speaking spokesman for prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid namely, in the Tuesday picture of the two skønhedsdronninger out on twitter, where Ofir Gendelman wrote the following:

‘Miss Lebanon, Salwa akar’s participating in the Miss Earth 2018 a fun has been stripped of his title today in Lebanon, because she ‘dared’ to take this picture with Miss Israel.

Miss Israel, Dana Zreik is an israeli-arab, who proudly represents his country. Lebanese apartheid must be condemned.’

yesterday confirmed the former Miss Lebanon Earth, Salwa akar’s, on his facebook, that she has been stripped of her title, but she plans to continue in a fun. On facebook wrote akar’s following:

‘I don’t need a ’title’ to be myself. I’m in the soul peaceful…and I will finish what I have started with or without your support and love… God is always beside me. He knows me better than anyone else..and he knows what is in my heart. About Shanti’.

The only 20-year-old israeli participating in a fun, Dana Zreik, in connection with the contest told me that she has had a normal and happy childhood. She hopes one day to become a fashion designer. She also has told, that she is proud to come from a historically rich region, where there also is a strong focus on organic farming.
