If Israel had won they would implement whatever they wanted. The ceasefire exists because Israel failed to achieve what it wanted. Hamas still exists. They run Gaza.

If this ceasefire happens, it is because of the immovable and tenacious bravery and ingenuity of the Palestinian resistance, and the humanitarian interventions of Lebanese and Yemeni forces. Palestinian liberation is inevitable; Zionism collapses in its shadow.
