Germany won’t sanction Israel over annexation – Jerusalem official – Berlin won’t cause ‘major upset’ despite stressing move would harm relations, source says ahead of visit by Foreign Minister Heiko Maas | Timesofisrael

Germany will not respond harshly to Israel’s planned unilateral annexation of parts of the West Bank, a diplomatic official in Jerusalem said Monday.
While annexation would likely cause a certain degree of damage to bilateral ties, Berlin has made plain that it does not plan to enact sanctions against the Jewish state or recognize a Palestinian state, the official said.
