Australia's The Age newspaper said the bitter foes had a "very robust exchange" during the two-day event in Egypt last month. The paper cited participants at the Australian-organized conference.

She says the "two sides did not meet or speak to one another directly."

Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear arms, though it refuses to confirm or deny it. Iran denies international allegations it's secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons.
