Ha'aretz Headline: "Israel to go on high terror alert due to Annapolis peace summit"

Peace dividend

Best headline ever or merely top five?

Police will go on high alert for terror attacks across Israel on Monday, due to fears that terror organizations may attempt to carry out an attack in order to disrupt the U.S.-sponsored Middle East peace summit in Annapolis, Maryland. On Sunday afternoon, security forces dropped a terror alert that had been declared following intelligence reports that two Palestinian militants were trying to enter Israel to carry out a terrorist attack. It was not immediately clear whether arrests had been made, but Israel Radio reported that the alert was canceled after new information was received. Jerusalem police had received a tip according to which two terrorists were en route to Jerusalem in order to carry out an attack in the city ahead of Tuesday's Middle East peace conference in Annapolis.

That's how peace summits always work, right? Well, here's one benefit of Annapolis: if everything goes as well as Israel's Arab enemies and the State Department hope it will go, there will be a lot less of Israel to shut down during terror red alerts. There will also be a lot less terrorism, since why should you bother with a suicide bomber when you can just launch a rocket at the Western Wall?
