Prediction Confirmed: Israeli About-Face on Convoy Threat

One week ago, following the Netanya bombing, I predicted today's sudden reversal on the existential threat of the convoys from Gaza to Judea (Israel Bows to U.S. Pressure, Will Allow Gaza-West Bank Convoys).

I warned against believing the story (Israel Halts Talks with PA on Gaza-West Bank Convoys-"until the PA takes significant measures to improve security") and I also predicted the timing of the about-face. I explained:

Don't believe this represents anything substantive--Israel always makes temporary, symbolic halts to negotiations with the PA after successful terror attacks. This is done because of the domestic outcry, which has always subsided after a few days. Then business can resume as usual.

This was in the context of a string of I-told-you-so's regarding Israel's capitulation on every front regarding the IRIS-predicted Palestinian strategy of militarizing Gaza and then creating a terror canal to the porous gates of central Israel via Judea.

Last week's post ended with a reference to these must-read posts:
