      Stage one

      This officially lasted for 42 days, during which:

      • Hamas released 25 living Israeli hostages and eight dead hostages
      • Israel released about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza
      • Israeli forces left populated areas of Gaza
      • Displaced Palestinians returned to their neighbourhoods
      • Hundreds of aid lorries were allowed into Gaza each day
      • Israeli troops remained in Gaza’s border areas, including the southern Philadelphi Corridor, and left the Netzarim Corridor, a military zone cutting off the north of Gaza from the south

      Stage two

      Negotiations on the second stage were meant to begin 16 days after the start of stage one - but this did not happen. Like stage one, stage two is also meant to be completed within 42 days.

      Stage 1 began on Jan 15. 42 days after Jan 15 is Feb 26, so the ceasefire and its terms ended Feb 26, even though Israel did not attack right away.

      Should a phase 2 have been negotiated it would have begun on Feb 27 at the conclusion of phase 1 but Hamas was not willing to budge on Israel’s demand for their surrender of control and Israel was not willing to budge on Hamas’ demand for returning control of the Netzarim corridor. So, at an impasse the phase 2 negotiations never occurred, the agreed upon terms of the ceasefire ended Feb 26, and as Israeli citizens are still being held captive dead and alive in Gaza, israel has resumed its offensive campaign to destroy hamas.

      You don’t need to make things up dude
