1. No One Is Going To Occupy The Place For Israel, Ma'am
If the state of Israel wishes that area policed in its interests it can maintain its military occupation.

The chief problems with this occupation are its violations of law in regard to confiscation of land and settlement of Israeli citizens on occupied territory, and the ambitions for de facto annexation, or permanent occupation, of large swatches of the territory in question.

If the state of Israel wishes to maintain a military presence east of its Green Line borders, it needs to liquidate the settler movement and make clear it has no territorial ambitions in the area.
