The coming days should produce quite a bit of interesting news about the peace process due to the end of the settlement slow down in the West Bank. It is possible several scenarios could play out, but two in particular are interesting.
1. The peace process could entirely break down. With tensions at an all time high in the region already this could further hasten a military clash between Israel and Lebanon and Syria.
2. The current U.S. administration could begin to pressure Israel to halt construction in the West Bank. In my opinion, it is doubtful they would place too much pressure on Israel this close to the November elections. However, once the elections are over I would not be surprised to see the pressure increased.
In my mind the concerning scenario is number two. We do not want to find ourselves in the position as a nation of placing pressure on Israel to surrender their God-given land.
Here is a recent article on the end of the slow down.
