Well. That's Particularly Cheeky Of Lapid.

One of the main drivers of the current tensions is the previous government, his governments, needless expansion of raids in the West Bank. Really only to prove that Naftali Bennett is a tough guy.

Naftali Bennett's only other claim to be a tough guy is his service in the 2006 Lebanon War. So it's hardly surprising that Lebanon has come back into focus.

All Lapid's government has done since leaving office is try to bring down the current government. Delaying it in undoing the damage done by Lapid's government.

Beyond that it's all pretty typical.

Passover and Ramadan have coincided this year. As they always do Israel has shutdown access to Israel from the West Bank to prevent terror attacks during Passover. This has restricted Palestinian access to al-Aqsa during Ramadan.

Fearing that Jewish extremists will use the opportunity to pray and conduct ceremonies at al-Aqsa. Some Palestinians blockaded al-Aqsa which further prevented Palestinian access during Ramadan. Forcing the Israelis to move in to end the blockade. To ensure Palestinian access.

I have to say that it does all feel a bit engineered on the Palestinians part.
