  1. He had an election to win when he first blocked accession.
  2. The US likely had a little chat about the Hamas leaders staying in Turkey. They were asked to leave after the attack. Continuing to block Swedish accession, when you've been harbouring Hamas, is a bit too embarassing.
  3. The media's distracted by the Israel/Palestine thing, so it's a good time to bury an embarassing u-turn.
