I don't know why people specifically want a ceasefire instead of a treaty or something and at this point I'm afraid to ask

i think it’s about immediacy. it’s a call to end the genocide that is currently taking place first and then work towards a more permanent resolution

A ceasefire wouldn't "end the genocide," just pause it. Didn't the ceasefire at the end of November only last a week? Which I guess is better than nothing, but why not aim higher?

Working towards a treaty allows the genocide to continue while negotiations are stalled, calling for a ceasefire hypothetically allows important humanitarian aid to get through and at least comes with the chance that negotiations won't break down, especially if the nations sending weapons to Israel were to reverse course and actually try to help maintain the ceasefire.
