The US' magnificent new Palestine ceasefire deal... doesn't include an actual ceasefire

For all the media pomp over Blinken visiting Israel to bring about a peace deal, the proposition doesn't even include a permanent ceasefire

    I’m not trying to be pedantic, but I thought a ceasefire always meant a temporary pause in hostilities, as opposed to a peace treaty which would be permanent.

      Historically a ceasefire means to stop killing, and it is considered broken if hostilities resume.

      Baking in the resumption of hostilities is essentially negotiating for peace in bad faith. This has been Netenyahu’s strategy from the start, because he knows an end to the war means an end to his reign of power.
