Iran's president has told an Israeli reporter he favours a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Khatami's response came as a surprise
Mohammad Khatami was responding to a question in what is believed to be the first time the Iranian leader has publicly spoken to an Israeli.
Mr Khatami took the question at a news conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Iran has frequently called for the Jewish state's destruction and the two countries are bitter foes.
