LAS VEGAS, NV. – A Miss Universe contestant is receiving death threats after a selfie she took at the event.

Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan, took a picture with Miss Israel, Adar Gandelsman, during a pre-pageant photo shoot in Las Vegas.

Idan posted the selfie with the caption "Peace and love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel."

The picture immediately faced huge criticism on social media. Idan’s family even had to leave Iraq following the death threats.

The problem lies with the clash on diplomatic relations between Iraq and Israel.

Idan said she has no regrets and is refusing to delete the photo.
