My opinion, no. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza shows no sign of improving unless Israel lifts the blockade. The current government was never going to consider it.
The recent incursion of settlers into Al-Aqsa (Thursday?) was deliberately protected by Israeli force, and was a display of power and a poorly thought out provocation.
If you look back at the past few Passovers and Succot holidays, similar things have happened with minor, backlash in Jerusalem: a few arrests and minimal casualties. This time the response was a strategic attack out of Gaza.

Or Egypt. Israel is not able to control what gets in and out of Gaza if Egypt opens its border. Which would make lifting the blockade more likely.
