Conductor Barenboim slams Israel after musician barred from entering Gaza
By The Associated Press

But the 27-year-old was stopped at the Israel-Gaza border and told that he needed individual permission to enter. The group was held for seven hours at the border, and subsequently canceled the concert in solidarity.

"A baroque music concert in a Roman Catholic church in Gaza - as we all know - has nothing to do with security and would bring so much joy to people who live there in great difficulty," Barenboim said.

The Jewish conductor, who was born in Buenos Aires but grew up in Israel, called on the Israelis to support humanitarian and cultural projects in the Palestinian Authority.

Barenboim has for years been critical of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians.

In 1999, he founded the WestEastern Divan Orchestra for youths from around the Middle East.
