Doesn't matter. Israel won't agree to any ceasefire.
And if some mid-level official makes it seem like they will, they'll kill the opposing leader to make sure it doesn't happen.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It would be foolish for Israel to accept a cease-fire now that the initial attack against Hezbollah has succeeded and permanent destruction of the group as a political and military force is within reach.
The very fact that Hezbollah is making this offer indicates desperation. As for Hezbollah's leadership: at this rate soon no one of note will be willing to accept the position.
LOL destruction of the group as a political force is abolutely not in reach or even close to it. This is a deeply entrench sectarian group. It is the political and military expression of Lebanese Shia and the bonds and loyalty run extremely deep. There is no analogue to it among the other two sects, who dominate the official government and will never coordinate together in auch a manner as to defeat it. If it were as simple as assassination leaders, bombing infrastructure and invading the south, it would have been done decades ago.
You're being sold a delusional bill of goods just as in 2003 and 2006.
Yeah committing genocide on a people has been known to stop them from hating you and participating in asymmetric warfare against you.
Truly peak understanding of fundamental human group psychology.
Or high level…
Terrorism works apparently. If the zios continue murdering even more people, they'll get an even better "deal".
Yay international rule of law! \s
