In Mideast and around the world, everyone's talking 'ceasefire.' But what does it really mean?

Ceasefire agreements in the Mideast are not stopping ongoing fighting, as seen in Israel's attacks on Gaza, a Lebanon deal labeled 'ceasefire in name only,' and stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations. Analysts argue that modern ceasefires no longer guarantee pauses in hostilities, citing examples like the Korean Armistice Agreement, which technically keeps the Korean Peninsula at war despite a 1953 halt in combat.
