'Tipping point' is a term in sociology that refers to the moment when something previously unique becomes common. But I think in the article you quoted it means the moment or the circumstances that pushed someone or something into taking a particular action.

It's a title. In a normal sentence you would see:
The political rift was THE TIPPING POINT......
the tipping point = the point where the weight becomes so heavy the bucket or container tips over
Now extend that to the sentence and you'll get it.
