How many ceasefires has there been in Gaza? I mean since fighting started between Israel and Palestinians decades ago?

There have been several ceasefires between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza over the past few decades. The exact number of ceasefires is difficult to determine, as they have taken place at different times and involved various agreements and understandings.

One of the most notable ceasefire agreements was the 1993 Oslo Accords, which included a mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). It led to a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in certain areas.

Since then, there have been numerous ceasefires and temporary truces following escalations of violence between Israel and Palestinian armed groups in Gaza. These ceasefires have often been brokered by third-party mediators, such as Egypt, Qatar, or the United Nations.

It's worth noting that while ceasefires aim to halt active hostilities, they do not necessarily address the underlying issues or negotiate a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As a result, sporadic bouts of violence have continued to occur over the years. The complex political and historical context of the conflict makes finding a lasting resolution challenging.
