Donald Trump finally voiced out regarding the selfie feud between Miss Universe contestants Miss Lebanon and Miss Israel.

The American businessman and joint owner of the Miss Universe pageant with NBC Universal said that the two contestants were fighting "like cats and dogs" in a video posted on his Instagram account.

The selfie involved was posted in Jan. 10 during the Miss Universe pageant in Miami. Sally Greige, Miss Lebanon, took a group selfie together with Miss Slovenia, Miss Japan and Miss Lebanon, CBS News reported.

The photo quickly became controversial as Lebanon and Israel are "sworn enemies." Several fans of the 25-year-old Greige criticized her for including Miss Israel in the group photo.

Greige then posted a status update on Facebook, explaining that Miss Israel "jumped in" the photo and that she was intentionally avoiding taking photos with the fellow contestant from the start.

Meanwhile, Doron Matalon, Miss Israel, also posted a Facebook status regarding the incident.

The 21-year-old contestant said that the selfie incident made her sad.

"Too bad you can not put the hostility out of the game," Matalon wrote on her Facebook wall.

Trump told Inside Edition that the selfie feud is terrible as the Miss Universe pageant was supposed to bring the contestants closer together, but ended up with an "opposite effect" for the two.

The Miss Universe Organization owner also tweeted on Wednesday that Miss Lebanon and Miss Israel should stop fighting.

The Miss Universe pageant will air on Jan.25, Sunday. Whether the two contestants continue to fight or be at peace remains to be seen.
