18:12Now PlayingCeasefires are meant to stop fighting. So why are people still being killed after one is signed?
From Gaza to Iran, ceasefires are often announced as breakthroughs for peace. But the reality is much more complicated.
In our latest episode of Sky News Explains, Olive Enokido-Lineham looks at why modern wars in the Middle East show that a ceasefire doesn’t always mean peace.
With on the ground reporting from Gaza, analysis of Donald Trump’s US-Iran ceasefire agreement and expert insight from Professor Michael Clarke into conflict and diplomacy, Olive explains why ceasefires can dramatically collapse, how violations happen, and why it’s so difficult to enforce these fragile arrangements.
