| Report: Jordan threatened to expel Israeli ambassador |
| 2009-10-13 |
| Ma'an -- Jordan threatened to expel the Israeli ambassador last week if Israeli forces stormed Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque during Palestinian demonstrations at the holy site, the newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported on Monday. Right-wing Israeli activists were reported entering the Al-Aqsa compound at least twice in the last two weeks, sparking several days of protests by Palestinian residents of Jerusalem. The official news agency Petra reported that Jordan's Foreign Ministry summoned the Israeli chargé d'affaires twice in the course of eight days in protest of the reported intrusions at the mosque. In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz last week Jordan's King Abdullah II warned that Israeli policies in Jerusalem could provoke a broader regional confrontation. "We are seeing problems in Jerusalem that will directly destabilize not only the relationship with Jordan - which has a special concern and role in Jerusalem that is recognized in the peace treaty - but will also create a tinderbox that will be a major flashpoint throughout the Islamic world," the king said. Meanwhile on Monday Israeli authorities demolished a Palestinian house in the East Jerusalem town of Beit Hanina. |
