Netanyahu has announced that it is 'temporary'. My worry is that they will continue this 'temporary' occupation until a full peace agreement with Syria, and that they will use this occupied territory as a bargaining chip instead of something of having to offer something that will actually benefit the Syrian people.
Because there is nothing quite so permanent as a 'temporary' occupation. It's easy enough for Israel to come in, but to get them to leave will be a titanic undertaking.
Turkey did the same thing in 2016 with Operation Euphrates Shield, in 2018 with Operation Olive Branch, and in 2019 with Operation Peace Spring (but arguably as early as 2013 with their border control maneuvers and support of ISIS). How is this different?
Israel annexed the Golan Heights a long time ago: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/1214.html
Yes, yours is the obvious and correct answer.
The only open question is, will Israel add any additional "buffer" around the existing territory?
