Three weeks before a possible vote on Israel applying sovereignty in the West Bank, EU officials continued to voice their opposition, but would not list specific repercussions for the ties between Brussels and Jerusalem.German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas was scheduled to arrive in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, with plans to discuss annexation in meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, where he plans to take a similar tack.An EU official said on Tuesday Brussels is still trying to engage with Israel and explain why they view it as a problem, rather than make specific threats.In that vein, the EUs Foreign Affairs Council invited Ashkenazi to Brussels. The message it seeks to send is that it takes international law seriously, as the structure under which it operates. As such, the EU would not recognize Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank.In addition, the EU is concerned that Israel will send a message that will reverberate through the Middle East that force works better than negotiations.However, there is no specific cost for Israel being cited in conversations between officials if Israel moves forward with annexation, as it remains unclear what Israel will do and member states do not agree on the consequences.The trajectory of Israel-EU ties has always been positive, an EU official said, predicting that there is a danger that trajectory could change if Israel extends its laws to parts of the West Bank, though it may not happen overnight.The remarks came days after Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh told EU President Charles Michel that Brussels should recognize a Palestinian state and impose sanctions on Israel to prevent it from extending sovereignty in the West Bank.The European source cited security matters as an area that is unlikely to change, saying that Israels security is still important to the EU.In addition, the EU, Israels biggest trading partner, is unlikely to impose blanket sanctions on Israel.
