He's cool, confident and hip. Just what you'd expect from the 21-year-old winner of a reality TV show on Israeli satellite television.

Firas hopes to have an influence on Arab and Jewish youth
The surprising thing is, Firas Khoury is an Arab. Despite the venom which too often poisons relations between Jews and Arabs here, more than 70,000 Israeli teenagers voted for Firas.

The prize is a one-year contract to host a show on a youth TV channel. So Firas is about to become Israel's first Arab TV presenter.

A testament to the tolerance of the Israelis. You could only imagine what would happen if a Jew or an Israeli won a similar honor in a muslim country.
