At this point, I'm more concerned about oppressive right-wing entrenchment in Israel than I am about WWIII. Besides, amongst the risk factors for WWIII, I would list right-wing extremism in Israel as a big one.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Everything that is occurring is either adding or subtracting tension from a very volatile situation. The law in question is wrong, what came before it is wrong, what came before that is wrong. How do you think the cycle stops? Where do you think this leads? If it is just a start and stop inconveniencing a handful of people, I agree with you. Perhaps you can shed light on your own question about right-wing entrenchment - I have tried to shed some light on it from my point of view.
