Summary
But after 22 months of war, that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu wants.
What would long-term occupation mean for Gazans, Israel, the Middle East and the world?

And is there any other option in Netanyahu’s eyes?
Niall Paterson is joined on the Sky News Daily by a Palestinian aid worker in Gaza and Professor Yossi Mekelberg, senior consulting fellow for the Middle East and North Africa programme at Chatham House.
