    Wars generally end when one side surrenders.

    Neither Israel nor Hamas wants to surrender, so there is no reason to expect a “permanent ceasefire”.

      A lot of wars have ended in a stalemate.

      And if Israel is just stopping the onslaught in Gaza it is not a surrender. They wouldn’t have given up anything.

        Wars end in stalemate when both sides agree that they cannot make further military advances. That’s not the case here.

      There have been multiple previous wars between Hamas and israel, and other parties like Lebanon, and it usually ends in a ceasefire.

      Israel saying they want keep committing Genocide after a 6 week break and then occupy Gaza isn’t exactly a great deal.
