Jordan summons Israeli envoy in Amman

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry asked Israeli Ambassador Daniel Nevo on Monday to convey to Israel Jordan’s protest and rejection of recurring Israeli violations against the al-Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem, Jordan’s Petra news agency reported.

 

Following clashes at the contested holy site this week, Amman told the Israeli ambassador that “assaulting Muslim worshipers and allowing [in] Jewish extremists” must stop and that Jordan holds Israel, as the “occupying power,” responsible for the security of the mosque and the Muslim worshipers there.
