Israel didn't offer a ceasefire. They offered a pause.

A pause in a war is called what exactly?

Oh, ceasefire. Huh.

[-] MrNesser@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

There's a specific definition here though

A pause indicates a temporary stop to advancing with no obligation to stop shooting

While a ceasefire is they stop shooting.

If Israel broke a ceasefire it could be seen as worse than essentially unpausing the conflict.

It's all wording, semantics and ultimately drivel but that's politics and diplomacy.
