I'm not very sure that such things can be compared in the manner they are being compared. Israel has a 'cease fire' with Egypt, Jordan that seems to be working

  Israel has negotiated and signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. I don't understand in what sense you would say that these are 'cease fires', and how that relates to the article's point.

    Well, prior to the peace treaties, there definitely were armistices. So those armistices worked very well indeed.

    If we say that a 'cease fire' that later turned into a 'peace treaty' doesn't count as a successful peace treaty then of course it looks like 'cease fires' only result in failures. If the resumption of hostilities qualifies as a failure, then I would have to say a permanent armistice and a peace treaty would have to be qualified as a success.
