Is there some legal or moral significance of underlining that the occupation is _temporary_ ? Is _permanent_ occupation somewhat more justified or what?

It’s temporary because the occupiers are going to be sent home in bags if they don’t leave of their own accord.

Calling a place permanently occupied is pretty much the same as giving up on it.

Military matters often have additional considerations to the legal and moral ones that preoccupy your mind. Hence there is, obviously, much significance.
