With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s consent, senior Israeli security officials gave an explicit assurance to the Royal Hashemite Court in Jordan that the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount hasn’t changed and will not change, according to Channel 12 news.
The report says the message was relayed to the Jordanian monarchy following Sunday’s cabinet meeting at which senior security officials warned ministers about the growing turmoil in the West Bank, and after which Netanyahu issued a public statement saying ministers must first clear any visits to the flashpoint holy site.
