Member states of the European Union are putting pressure to impose sanctions on Israel if it goes ahead with its plan to annex parts of the West Bank next month, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.The first high-level dignitary to visit Jerusalem since establishment of the new government, Maas arrived on Wednesday to try and convince Netanyahu to back down from his plan to begin the process of unilaterally annexing up to 30 percent of the West Bank on July 1.In addition to pressures within the EU Israels biggest trading partner to adopt punitive measures against Israel if it moves forward with annexation, Maas said that there are steps member states could individually take to downgrade cooperation and trade with Israel. He said the states could also move forward with recognizing a Palestinian state.Netanyahu told Maas that any peace plan must take Israeli settlements into account. Any realistic plan must recognize the reality of Israeli settlement in the territory and not nurture the delusion of uprooting people from their homes, he said.Israel must have full security control west of the Jordan River, Netanyahu said.During a press conference with Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi earlier in the day, Maas warned that annexation would be incompatible with international law and make a two-state solution impossible.I will continue to reiterate the German position and explain our serious and honest worries as a very special friend of Israel about the possible consequences of such a move, he said.We share these views with our European partners, and we are of the view that annexation does not go together with international law We continue to stand for an agreed-upon two-state solution, Maas said.Germany will assume the six-month presidency of the European Council and the one-month leadership of the UN Security Council on July 1, the earliest date the coalition agreement between Blue and White and Likud stipulates for a vote on extending sovereignty.
