"We can work a peace deal while they're fighting."
Please tell me what you think of that statement.

If you’re negotiating while the blows are still flying, it’s not really peace, it’s just damage control. On the other hand, sometimes the only way you get people to the table is while the chaos is fresh, before it gets even worse. So I think it depends on whether you mean it as "let’s build a ceasefire while the fire’s burning" which is messy but possible, or whether you mean "ignore the fighting and pretend it’s peace", which isn’t really a deal at all.
