The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan urged the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic
Affairs to provide all means of support to people who are “steadfast” in their
defense of the Old City and Al-Aqsa Mosque, according to Amman Net.

Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson Muath Khawaldeh said
“we have been provided by the media with an audio recording of the director of
Al-Aqsa Mosque Omar Al-Kiswani asking worshippers to move to other mosques,
instead of Al-Aqsa, until (April 21), at a time when Zionist extremists
declared their intention to storm and desecrate the mosque in the coming days,
to celebrate their holiday”.
Khawaldeh added: “We demand an immediate reversal of
the decision to prevent worshipers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque from retreating from
there, since this is the most successful way to confront the radical Zionist
groups that desecrate the complex.”
He asked the Ministry of Awqaf to carry out its duty
and “facilitate whatever contributes to supporting the worshippers remain
steadfast at Al-Aqsa Mosque”.
Far-right Jewish groups have been making public
calls for a wide-ranging breach of Al-Aqsa on April 15 to mark the Jewish
Passover. With heightened tension in the occupied Palestinian territories, such
a breach, which coincides with the second Friday in Ramadan, could trigger mass
violence.
On Monday, dozens of fanatic Jews stormed Al-Aqsa
complex under police protection. Since the advent of Ramadan, such incidents
have increased noticeably.
The Jordanian government has repeatedly denounced
such incursions which violate the status quo agreement on Al-Aqsa complex.
