    The last ceasefire lasted little more than a year and Hezbollah used that time to rebuild, so I think that a new ceasefire now is not likely to be in Israel’s best interest, especially if it involves ceding occupied territory. Trump just wants to claim victory (and he might get away with it politically because the effects of failure on life in the USA will be significant but indirect) but the security of the people in northern Israel depends on actually achieving victory.
