60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF WINSTON CHURCHILL
|
24 January 2025
Sixty years ago, on 24 January 1965, Winston Churchill died. He was twice British prime minister, between 1940 and 1945 and between 1951 and 1955.
The "United States of the World" - with the Museum of Peace, where the "Churchill Room", in which the statesman stayed for a long time, is located - remembered him with a series of events and a meeting with students during which films of the British statesman's main speeches were shown.
He is still remembered today as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, who was able to make an entire people resist the bombing and destruction brought to British soil by the planes of Nazi Germany.
"I can promise you nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat", were his words at his inauguration in 1940.

GAZA TRUCE
|
16 January 2025
After 15 months of siege and bombardment by Israeli forces, following attacks by Palestinian armed groups in Israel on 7 October 2023, the Government of Israel and Hamas finally reached an agreement: a ceasefire of hostilities in Gaza.
The "United States of the World" is relieved at this agreement reached, albeit a fragile one, but nevertheless a turning point towards the peace, protection and justice that innocent men, women and children deserve after these endless months of violence.
The pause in hostilities in Gaza will protect everyone, especially children, from the bombs for as long as the truce lasts, but this, says Secretary-General Michele Capasso, must be transformed into a definitive ceasefire and a rapid increase in humanitarian aid, especially to children, to tackle malnutrition and disease.
