A state of war exists whether or not there are guns being fired.
"An armistice is when the warring parties agree to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, but can instead be just a cease fire. It is derived from the Latin arma, meaning weapons and statium, meaning a stopping.
A truce or ceasefire usually refers to a temporary cessation of hostilities for an agreed limited time or within a limited area. A truce may be needed in order to negotiate an armistice. An armistice is a modus vivendi and is not the same as a peace treaty, which may take months or even years to agree on. The 1953 Korean War armistice [1] is a major example of an armistice which has not yet been followed by a peace treaty."
With the exception of Jordan and Egypt which signed peace treaties with Israel, the other arab countries, such as Syria, are still in a state of war with Israel. They don't exchange gunfire every day, or even for years, but just as Israel showed when it blew up the Syrian reactor, it is still at war.
The exhange of entertainers or other delegations between belligerents doesn't change the FACT of a state of war, and doen't substitute for a negotiated peace treaty.
