It is officailly "occupied territory." because Israel cannot claim the land without accepting or ejecting the people living on the territory. If they accept them, the number of "Arab People" living in Israel would have huge political power. After the next election Israel would no longer a "Jewish State". Ejecting the people is proving to be problematic because a majority of Israelis and almost all of the world is against that course of action. So Israel continues to occupy the land with her military but not to officially "claim" the land as the spoils of war.

Would you care to explain your definition of "benevolent"?
