Sarah Idan, the former beauty queen of Iraq, who supported Israel, landed for a visit to Israel. Idan made headlines at the Miss Universe pageant in 2017 when she posted a photo online with Adar Gendelsman, Israel's representative in the pageant, in order to convey a message of peace.

The Iraqi government didn't like the message, she received death threats and was forced to leave the country.
Idan moved to California with her family and two years later again expressed support for Israel, speaking out against anti-Semitism at a UN Human Rights Council debate. She also earned the title of "ambassador of peace" and in her speech condemned Hamas. As expected, this speech also irritated the Iraqis.
