"Disastrous": Israel plans to occupy Gaza after war ends

The United States is cautioning Israel against occupying Gaza.  

It comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the country will have overall security responsibility for an indefinite period after the war ends.  

International geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller told Kate Hawkesby that Israel doesn't want a power vacuum in Gaza or Hamas to rebuild, so their only option is occupation.  

He says that will be disastrous, and a bit like when the US occupied Iraq after the Iraq war. 

However, Miller concedes it'll probably be the only option.
