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.

NAPLES CAPITAL OF PEACE

The city is increasingly strengthening its natural role as a city of dialogue and peace, thanks to the 40-year commitment of the "United States of the World", which with its headquarters in Piazza Municipio represents 181 countries and over 16,000 civil society organisations committed daily to safeguarding the earth, maintaining peace and ensuring social justice.
Even the symbol, the "Totem for Peace" by sculptor Mario Molinari, sees its presence in Naples - a unique case - in five symbolic places: the headquarters of the "United States of the World", Palazzo San Giacomo, the Nunziatella military school, the Capodimonte seminary and the square in front of the maritime station. The latter monumental work, 20 metres high, was inaugurated by Pope Francis on 21 March 2015 and contains the urn with the relics of the Unknown Migrant: soon, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary, an additional urn will be placed with the relics of the victims of the many wars and conflicts around the world.
In the Parliament of Rabat, Morocco, one of the first works of the "Totem for Peace" was placed between the main entrance and the office of King Mohammed VI in 2010: In recent days, a delegation of the "United States of the World", led by Secretary-General Michele Capasso, in the presence of the Ambassador of Italy to Morocco Armando Barucco and the highest officials of the Assembly of Representatives, renewed the importance of the symbol, which will be further disseminated in parliaments around the world next year, when the delegations of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliaments and those of the Inter-Parliamentary Union will meet in Rabat.
