Inconvenient little facts that you can't address.
And just so we're clear, sustaining this claim (that the war had ended) is a central pillar to FD's argument about why executing the Banu Qurayza was the most horrific thing that ever happened - comparable to nothing (not even the deliberate slaughter of 10s of thousands of women and children at Hiroshima).
