The United States is cautioning Israel against occupying Gaza. Â
It comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the country will have overall security responsibility for an indefinite period after the war ends. Â
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. Â
He says that will be disastrous, and a bit like when the US occupied Iraq after the Iraq war.Â
However, Miller concedes it'll probably be the only option.Â
