It is what this Parliament called for.\u201d She said that it should act as a \u201ccatalyst that changes despair to hope, that becomes the stepping stone to lasting stability, rebuilding and a surge in aid that allows real prospect of peace in the region.\u201d The priority now is to ensure the agreement holds, she added, so that \u201cits aims are met, that will allow the conflict to stop, get aid in, and get the remaining hostages out. The day after must bring new hope, and Europe is ready to play its part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Inauguration of Donald Trump<\/em><br \/>\nSpeaking on the day Donald Trump is inaugurated for his second term as US President, President Metsola extended her best wishes to the American people as they begin this new chapter. \u201cThe bond between Europe and the United States has been a cornerstone of peace, security and prosperity for decades. It will not be without its challenges but I know that Europe will be ready to work for a positive outcome for all. Today, the geopolitical realities we all face will require a renewed transatlantic alliance guided by our shared values,\u201d she said. \u201cEurope stands ready to work together to strengthen our bond as friends and as partners to shape a world of stability, opportunity and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Anniversary of the death of former EP President David Sassoli<\/em><br \/>\nSpeaking on the third anniversary of the death of former European Parliament President David Sassoli, President Metsola said that her predecessor was a European leader, a champion of democracy, and above all a dear friend. \u201cDavid believed deeply in a Europe that could be united in solidarity and which would leave no one behind,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rocco Chinnici and Paolo Borsellino<\/em><br \/>\nOn the 100th anniversary of the birth of Rocco Chinnici and the 85th of Paolo Borsellino, President Metsola honoured the memory of the two anti-Mafia magistrates, saying that their work continues to be a \u201csource of inspiration in Italy and in the whole of Europe\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/press-room\/20250116IPR26320\/president-metsola-gaza-ceasefire-the-breakthrough-we-all-hoped-for\">European Parliament<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/president-metsola-gaza-ceasefire-the-breakthrough-we-all-hoped-for\/\">President Metsola: \u201cGaza ceasefire the breakthrough we all hoped for\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,274,7143,2370],"class_list":["post-136726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-metsola","tag-parliament"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136726\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
