Right around the time we decided to move, the situation in Israel rapidly deteriorated. Three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and murdered and after Israel retaliated against the terrorists, Hamas responded by launching hundreds of rockets into civilian neighborhoods all around Israel, creating an all out war. I wasn't overly concerned for my safety, as the casualties from the rockets were low, thank G-d, but I was more than a little worried about bringing my family there.
I watched the news anxiously every day, hoping that the situation would be resolved and Israel would be a safer place to live before we got there. I decided that unless the situation deteriorated drastically, moving would still be the right thing to do. Unfortunately, it seems like the solutions reached, were little more than temporary pauses in the hostilities.
I'll spare you my opinions of what should have been/should be done until I've been living here a bit longer. Not that a year is enough time, but I hope to at least have a better understanding of the reality of the situation.
