    I’m not trying to be pedantic, but I thought a ceasefire always meant a temporary pause in hostilities, as opposed to a peace treaty which would be permanent.

      Every peace starts with a ceasefire, maybe except complete surrender of one of the sides. Some ceasefires lasts decades, for example no peace was ever signed for Korean War making it de iure over 74 years and counting long.
