Provocation?

According to Ma'an news agency, the settlers entered the compound under the supervision of the army. "Providing a police escort for settlers who are against peace at all costs, and whose presence is deliberately designed to provoke a reaction, are not the actions of someone who is committed to peace, but of someone who will go to extraordinary lengths to scuttle all hopes of peace," according to Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat. Is this a re-run of Sharon's provocative walk through the area, an action that sparked incidents that led to the second Intifada?
