Could very well be ... IF ... the airport remains closed. I would say that the airport is the key there ... namely if Hamas repeatedly attacks it. That is the one thing that would be intolerable.

They've been attacking Ben Gurion since the beginning. Iron Dome took down four missiles the first or second day. The one that landed a mile or so away is the first that got through. If the FAA is serious about the risk, then the ban shouldn't be lifted until the risk from Gaza is extinguished. If they lift it in 24 hours, it was bogus. IMO, simply pressure to coincide with Kerry's visit to Egypt. Kind of a here's what we can do thing. Also my opinion only, but childish nonsense. This isn't going to intimidate the Israeli government.

BTW, there are rumors that there have been attempts to blind pilots with lasers coming from the West Bank. Not impossible that could be in play here.
