AMMAN - Jordan on Sunday demanded Israeli police stop entering Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, warning that “dangerous provocations” by the Jewish state threaten peace efforts in the Middle East.
Jordan, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, is “deeply concerned” about developments in Jerusalem’s flashpoint site, holy to Muslims and Jews, Information Minister Nabil Sharif said.
“Such dangerous provocations obstruct chances for peace and stability in the region,” Sharif, who is also government spokesman, added in a statement.
“They are illegal. They would create more violence and tension.”
Police twice entered Al-Aqsa compound on Sunday after Palestinian demonstrators threw stones at visitors to the holy site, known to Muslims as Al-Haram Al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) and to Jews as the Temple Mount.
