Because a ceasefire is just a temporary stop to fighting.
Why do people think ceasefire means some sort of permanent truce and end to war?
In world war one they had a ceasefire for Christmas. That lasted one day. Doesn’t matter how long it is, if it’s a temporary mutual agreement to stop fighting for whatever reason, it’s a ceasefire.
If it’s a permanent mutual agreement to stop, it’s a peace treaty.
I get that, but ceasefire to me has always meant a stop to the fighting, indefinitely. Basically, the fighting stops without any stated end. If it does end, it ends. But the time limit aspect, at least from my understanding, isn’t specified.
I do get your meaning tho, and in that context it is considered a ceasefire. Thanks for the insight, I had actually forgotten about that WW1 reference.
Why is everyone calling this a ceasefire deal? It’s only for like, 4 days. It’s a pause.

That’s an armistice.
