Jordan Threatens Israel over Alleged “Violations” on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount

The Jordanian government, which Israel appointed to serve as custodian of Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem, on Sunday warned its Israeli counterparts of “serious consequences” if “violations”      on the Temple Mount continue. With tensions boiling over and violent outbursts frequent on the Temple Mount – Haram Al-Sharif to Muslims – Israeli security measures that were imposed for the Passover holiday have prevented many Arabs from being allowed to enter the Al-Aqsa compound. Israeli police have honored its pact with Jordan, even arresting individuals apparently violating the ban on non-Islamic prayer at the holy site despite its importance to all three monotheistic religions. Jewish Israelis who tried to bring lambs to the Temple Mount in order to re-introduce sacrifices were also arrested. Without elaborating on the meaning of “huge consequences” a spokesman said, “Israeli violations by Israeli troops and settlers against Al-Aqsa are against all the international law and agreements and that may lead to very dangerous and huge consequences.”
