Following weeks of intense bombardments in southern Lebanon, Israel has announced a ten-day ceasefire, which comes after more than 2,000 deaths and the displacement of over one million residents. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israeli troops will remain in southern Lebanon to establish a ten-kilometre security zone, raising concerns about the ceasefire's potential effectiveness. Historically, ceasefires have not marked the end of violence; for instance, after a previous ceasefire in late 2024, Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah continued. The article discusses the paradox of ceasefires, noting that while they may reduce immediate violence, they often lead to a shift in media attention and public focus away from ongoing issues. This pattern can result in a lack of scrutiny on continued violence, such as Israeli actions in the West Bank and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The article emphasizes the need for sustained attention to conflicts, even after ceasefires, to fully understand the complexities of war and peace agreements.
