It seems like whenever I do hear about one, it’s pretty routinely violated(usually by a particular side like Israel but still). It feels weird to agree to one if there’s no intent to follow through.

Edit: Israel is a pretty clear example; which is that they’re conducting a genocide, but I’ve noticed this in Ukraine/Russia as well

    Depends on each situation. They’re an inherently unstable situation unless they lead to a peace deal or other more permanent resolution.

    • Sometimes they’re a precursor to a peace deal or a stage setter for negotiations
    • Sometimes they’re a way to buy time to stockpile arms or supplies
    • Sometimes they’re for religious/cultural reasons (typically shared reasons like a holiday or to bury the dead)
    • Sometimes they’re deceptive so as to mislead an opponent with false intentions
