Exactly. This is all about managing the unruly masses. If they make the right sounds and rattle the keys they’re hoping to mollify a percentage of their voters.
There is no will to do anything beyond the absolute bare minimum at any given time.
We will see incremental movement until they think they can stop. They will always approach action but never quite get there.

And while the quote is there, it might be misinterpreted. The senior official might have meant that they had intelligence that this was going to happen.
A different quote from the same article:
“‘The bullet has left the barrel,’ said Maya Sion-Tzidkiyahu, Director of the Israel–Europe Relations Program at the Mitvim Institute and lecturer at the Hebrew University’s European Forum. ‘There's no telling where this will lead or how the legal review will conclude. This step further isolates Israel as a pariah state, losing some of its closest friends in Europe.’
According to her, ‘This shift happened fast, in just two weeks, and the decision may trigger a diplomatic tsunami.’
‘This is a very clear message to Israel: we've had enough of a senseless war. You're increasingly seen as a country whose values no longer align with those of the European Union,’ Sion-Tzidkiyahu added.”

I fear you are correct. #Macron said he considered recognizing the State of Palestine in June. Why in June? Now there are rumours it will be even more delayed. Looks like he is waiting for it to be too late.
