In Mideast and Around the World, Everyone's Talking 'ceasefire.' But What Does It Really Mean?
Declared ceasefires between Israel and Hamas, Israel and Hezbollah, and the United States and Iran have coincided with ongoing strikes and continued fighting across the region.
- Technically, ceasefires exist between Israel and Hamas, Israel and Hezbollah, and the United States and Iran, yet fighting persists across Gaza and Lebanon as Israeli strikes continue despite formal truce declarations.
- Strategic breaches often define acceptable hostility levels during truces. H.A. Hellyer, senior associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, notes that Israeli leaders treat ongoing strikes as compatible with the truce, while viewing comparable actions by others as collapse.
- On Monday, Israeli strikes in southern and central Gaza killed at least eight people and wounded at least 20 others. More than 4,000 people in Lebanon have been killed in Israeli strikes since March.
- Two United States envoys, Steve Witkoff, special Mideast envoy to President Donald Trump, and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, arrived in Qatar on Tuesday for talks on ending the war in Iran under a 60-day deadline.
- Fawaz A. Gerges, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, stated that Iran has "zero trust" in the Trump administration, arguing modern ceasefires no longer retain their traditional meaning.
