Abstract
The chapter describes a unique peace concert in dramatic circumstances in Gaza, conducted by the Israeli Maestro Daniel Barenboim. The concert, organized by UNSCO, took place only days before the conclusion of a Palestinian reconciliation accord in Cairo, which the author attended on behalf of the UN in spite of Israeli objections. While the need for Palestinian unity was generally well understood, the ways of achieving it proved much more controversial and elusive, and the Cairo agreement was no exception. The reasons why are addressed in this chapter.
