It does not seem like this photo will cause a diplomatic crisis, but it did make some people uncomfortable. After Miss Israel posted this picture online, of her with Miss Lebanon (and others), Miss Lebanon came under fire in her country for hanging out with Miss Israel. She defended herself claiming Miss Israel had jumped in and snapped the selfie but they had not been talking or hanging out together.
best reaction I saw was one that pointed out that while in Lebanon everyone was upset and this was such a big deal that Miss Lebanon might have taken a picture with miss Israel, in Israel nobody cared at all.
