| UN Mideast envoy: Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas eroding |

| [Ynet] Only reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under the PA can pave way for progress towards peace, Robert Sherry says. That certainly is the UN and PA view. The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is eroding, UN Middle East Peace Coordinator Robert Serry said in a press statement on Wednesday. Mind like a steel trap that Robert Serry. "I am worried we are seeing more and more signs that the understanding on a ceasefire reached in November 2012 is eroding in both of its main requirements – the end of all hostilities and the opening of the crossings for people and goods," Serry said. The Egyptian-mediated agreement came on the heels of the eight-day 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense in which more than a 100 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed. "During the past two months, we have seen more rockets being fired at Israel, border incidents, and Israeli retaliatory operations causing death or injury to civilians. The United Nations condemns the rise in violence, and all parties must act in accordance with international law," Serry noted. Eroding? Rockets impacting Israel would indicate the total absence of a ceasefire. Serry asserted that "only the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under the legitimate Palestinian Authority, based on the PLO commitments, can pave the way to a durable solution for Gaza, as part of political progress towards peace." |

| #2 Eroding? Rockets impacting Israel would indicate the total absence of a ceasefire. No, Israel retaliating is what shows the ceasefire is eroding. If Israel would stop retaliating, the ceasefire would hold. |
