One has to be somewhat cynical about Mid-East cease fires. That's just the nature of the beast. Wanting peace is not a mindset of anybody there, they would much prefer to slaughter their neighbors, but sometimes a temporary cessation of hostilities is convenient. Plus it fools the Americans into thinking their diplomacy actually meant something and that there is some progress, as well as suggesting to the Europeans nations that their angry sanctimonious squawking worked. We'll just overlook that angry European squawking caused more bloodshed than anything else in the known universe.
Imperialism, two world wars, and the inquisition?
That's the effect of European squawking.
Gulags and repression?
Squawking.
The next world war?
Um .....
I expect there will be "noise" from Europe both before and after.
And please note that I definitely include Great Britain and Ireland under the heading "Europe". From this side of the Atlantic, they look like the rest of that lot, despite being nominally English-speaking (for the most part), in contrast to the continent.
Where French, Arabic, and Turkish are the dominant tongues.
As I said, one has to be somewhat cynical.
