Bocelli shared the stage with dozens of singers from around the world, including Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa, Israel's Achinoam Nini and the Voices of Peace youth choir from the Arab Jewish Community Center of Jaffa.

The Peres Center for Peace is celebrating ten years of projects based on cooperation between Israelis and Arabs. Hopefully in another ten years, there were will be even more to celebrate.
