Germany: Ambassador of Germany to Israel, Steffen Seibert, said the demand by Israeli Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, to impose sovereignty over the West Bank is an open call for annexation. 'Any preparation to implement this goal is in full breach of international law,' he said in a post on X. 'We strongly condemn this announcement which threatens the stability of the entire region.' According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Seibert's remarks reflect significant international concern regarding the potential implications of Smotrich's demand. The German ambassador's statement underscores a broader apprehension about the legal and geopolitical ramifications that such a move could entail for the already volatile region. The call for sovereignty over the West Bank has drawn criticism from several international bodies that view it as a contravention of established international norms and agreements.
