Why does the media call an active war a ceasefire?

Israel claimed they had a cease fire with Hezbollah. However, they are still bombing each other every day. I guess it is new speak?

Trump knows his war is illegal and ran out of legal cover many days ago. So by insisting that a war is not a war (just like an election loss is not a loss or rape is not rape or racism is not real) he pretends to be doing nothing wrong. Its his whole worthless fucking life in a nutshell. I hope he is dying right now...choking to death or just having his 3 sizes too small heart imploding.
