Jerusalem’s most important religious site facing ‘imminent’ threat of Israeli takeover, says Jordan
- Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi announced Wednesday's emergency meeting of Arab and Muslim foreign ministers to counter what Amman calls an "imminent" Israeli risk of seizing the Temple Mount.
- The meeting follows a July 23 visit where more than 2,000 Israelis, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, performed religious rituals at the site, which Amman described as the most serious status quo violation in history.
- Jordan has held custodianship of the holy site for more than 100 years, but ongoing incursions—including revoked permits for mosque staff and the arrest of an Imam during Friday prayer—have strained the governing framework.
- Representatives from the Arab League, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan will join Safadi on Wednesday to address the danger, as he warns tampering with the status quo could trigger a religious conflict reverberating across the Muslim world.
- Amman warns that unilateral changes at the compound could provoke regional instability, labeling forced displacement of Palestinians from the West Bank a "red line" that would trigger mass refugee flows into the kingdom.
