European Officials Warn Israel Against Annexing the West Bank

SadaNews - European officials have warned Israel against proceeding with the annexation of parts of the West Bank in response to Western countries' recent official recognition of the State of Palestine, according to Israeli media.

Hebrew Channel 12 reported that European officials sent a stern warning message to Israeli officials amid discussions within the Israeli government about imposing what they call "sovereignty" over parts of the West Bank in response to recent international decisions, which would reinforce the already occupied status of the West Bank according to United Nations charters.

According to the channel, European officials told Israeli officials: If (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his government want to destroy what has been built in the Middle East, they will bear the consequences, with no further details provided.
