This comes at a bad time for both the administration and Israel. They have been targeted in the latest fallacy of a nuclear free Middle East and the US allowed the resolution to go through. On the administrations side, they just sent the White House Chief of Staff to Israel to sooth ruffled feathers.
I wonder if this convoy was designed to drive a wedge between the two allies? Regardless, the Israeli's have been trading land for peace and no longer have any strategic depth (if they had any at all). This will end badly.
Update 1. Could this be why the Israeli Commando's walked into a setup? Read it here. It seems that US leadership might be caught up in a web of unintended consequences.
