Iran’s top diplomat says the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon — a condition Israel has already rejected and that could sink the agreement.
Ceasefire typically don’t reverse territorial changes/occupations.
They are supposed to stop further aggression allowing both parties to discuss the dispuited/occupied territory and all other aspects of the conflict.
Please don’t read this as support for Israel’s actions, it’s just odd to expect a ceasefire to mean a full military withdrawal. It’s better to think of it as a pause.
Of course it’s not like Israel has ever respected any ceasefire. So maybe this is all a moot point anyway
Hard to implement a ceasefire when one of the parties involved in the fighting wasn’t invited to the ceasefire talks.
Also hard when the ceasefire doesn’t stop one party occupying a solid chunk of the other’s country and bulldozing villages…

To Israel “ceasefire” means you cease firing, I get to keep firing.
