‘No place’ for Jordan’s comments on Temple Mount — official
An Israeli official says there is “no place” for Jordan’s threats over the Temple Mount.
A Jordanian government spokesman earlier Monday said Israel’s “violations against worshipers” on the holy site “are a violation of international laws and conventions” and could have “dangerous consequences.”
“There is no place for such a statement. Israel is acting responsibly and Jordan knows this,” the Israeli official says in response.
The official also praises the letter by 83 senators to the US president urging him to boost defense aid.
“It is encouraging to see such strong support for Israel from both parties and the American people,” the official says.
