BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany rejects parts of a letter from Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Chancellor Angela Merkel which called into question
Israel's right to exist, a government spokesman said on Friday.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki delivered the letter to the German
embassy in Tehran earlier this week. A German government official who saw the
letter told Reuters it criticized Israel and said Germany and Iran should
cooperate in dealing with Zionism and solving the Palestinian problem.

"It includes many statements that are unacceptable to us, especially regarding
Israel, the right of Israel to exist and the Holocaust," said German government
spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm.

Speaking to reporters, Wilhelm said the letter did not mention Tehran's nuclear
standoff with the West, or the fighting in Lebanon and Israel.
