NEW YORK (IDN) – The Israeli-Palestinian conflict "doesn’t seem to have a solution", says the renowned conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim who has been striving to promote peace through the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, comprising young musicians from Israel and the Arab world.
Yet, as a Messenger of Peace, he puts hope in the United Nations to resolve the conflict whose roots are traced to the late 19th century, with the rise of national movements, including Zionism and Arab nationalism.
