Jordan complains to Israel over visits to Temple Mount
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJordan says it has presented a letter of protest to Israel’s Foreign Ministry over what it says are violations at Israel’s Temple Mount, where hundreds are visiting Sunday while marking the anniversary of the destruction of the Temples that once stood there.
According to the state-run news agency Petra, Minister Jumana Ghneimat condemned “the provocative incursions of extremists and settlers that took place today into the courtyards of the holy site.”
Ghneimat said the visits constituted violations of Israel’s obligations and would enrage Muslims worldwide.
Jordan considers itself the custodian of the site, which is administered by the Amman-funded Waqf.
