AMMAN — Jordan was expected to summon the

cessation of Israeli violations against
Al-Aqsa Mosque, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi said, according to the Jordan News Agency,
Petra.

He told lawmakers during a Lower House session that
Amman will host a meeting of an Arab League committee to address the recurrent
Israeli assaults. The committee comprises Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco,
Qatar, Tunisia, Algeria, and the secretary-general of the Arab League.
Safadi highlighted Jordan's efforts, led by His
Majesty
King Abdullah, to counter all actions to alter the legal and historical
status quo of Jerusalem.
Jordan, he said, is stepping up contacts with global
and Arab decision-makers to compel Israel, the occupying power, to abide by the
international law, halt raids and violations against the holy site, and prompt
the world community to find a "political horizon" to achieve peace on
the basis of the two-state solution leading to the establishment of a Palestinian
state on the June 4, 1967, lines.
Safadi said that Jordan stood firmly, as it always
had, against attempts to attack Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif, pointing to
the Jordanian efforts that began before the holy month of
Ramadan, and
continued during it, in order to ensure respect for the historical and legal
status quo, and to prevent further escalations.
“Protecting the Haram and its identity is a Jordanian
priority, and we proceed with our efforts to confront the illegal Israeli
measures and attacks inside the Muslim site,” Safadi said, pointing to the
intensified efforts, in response to Royal directives, and devoting all the
capabilities of the Kingdom to carry out this mission and bear responsibility.
