It is the pressure on America to do something (From the Europeans and Saudi Arabia) which leads to pressure on Israel which leads to concessions which Israel calculates will not be greatly damaging to its own security. However aside from the negative political perception in terms of the Palestinians relation to Abbas, I think the Israeli moral perception should be paramount. And that perception says that after Oslo when guns were given to those who used them to kill Israelis, it is forbidden to take such action again. My guess is that this analysis is the correct one.
