Jordan’s Abdullah to discuss Temple Mount unrest at UN
Jordan’s King Abdullah meets in Amman with five members of the Joint (Arab) List Knesset factions, angrily asking whether Israel is trying to inflame tensions on the holy site.
“What does Netanyahu want to do with these actions? Cause an explosion?” Abdullah asks, according to Israel Radio. “I am following everything that’s happening closely and watching what will be in the coming days and this will be an important subject in my meetings with world leaders at the UN next week.”
Abdullah also says there can be no argument over the fact that the Temple Mount site, called Haram al-Sharif in Arabic and home to the al-Aqsa Mosque, is for Muslim prayer.
