A singer from a Gaza refugee camp has united two feuding groups of Palestinians with his performances on Arab Idol. Mohammed Assaf has sung his way to fame on the show, which is a spin-off of American Idol.

The Palestinians in Gaza and Ramallah have been separated by feuding leadership for seven years, but recently, they have been united in spirit by Assaf.

Dozens of people even gathered on the streets of Ramallah on Saturday night to watch the 23-year-old perform on big TV screens.

"I love him," said one unnamed resident.

"All of us love him because he has a great voice and a great personality, and he is from our country."

Assaf is the first Palestinian to reach the final rounds of Arab Idol, and to make his story more interesting, he grew up in a Gaza refugee camp.

The show has grown so big that West Bank-based President Mahmoud Abbas even phoned the singer to wish him luck when he got through to the final.

The talent contest will finish at the end of June, and if Assaf wins it, the streets of Ramallah and Gaza will almost certainly be filled with joy. Report by Mark Morris.
