Jordan’s Foreign Ministry on 21 April summoned Israeli Ambassador in Amman Daniel Nevo to protest “Israeli violations” against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the city of Al-Quds (occupied East Jerusalem). “Jordan has notified the Israeli envoy regarding its rejection of Israeli violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the detention of [Muslim] worshippers, restrictions on entry into the mosque compound, and the frequent forcible entry into the holy site by [Jewish] settlers,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry went on to say it had asked the Israeli government to “immediately” halt all violations against the mosque, holding the self-proclaimed Jewish state responsible for the iconic mosque’s safety. Nevo, for his part, said he would personally deliver the message to the Israeli government, according to the ministry’s statement.
