Big bucks ride on that decision, but this morning's rocket barrage make it necessary. That makes two high dollar actions taken by Israel, closing the port, and calling up reserves.
Anyone willing to bet Israelis will be content to sit back, accept a bleeding financial bottom line, trading rockets and airstrikes, for weeks, as a status quo?
I wouldn't bet on it.
I think the fact that State and DOD are trying to get our citizens out of there, pretty much answers the question.
