Kadim Al Sahir joins the UN in a song calling for a ceasefire in Gaza

Announcing the news at the Sharjah International Book Fair, the singer said the English track was provisionally entitled "Hold Your Fire", for which he had written the lyrics in Arabic.

During the US invasion of Iraq, Al Sahir teamed up with Lenny Kravitz for the anti-war song "We Want Peace" in 2004 and collaborated with Sarah Brightman the following year on "The War is Over" (Entahat Al Harb).
