Jordan warns Jerusalem holy sites face threat of Israeli takeover | ABC NEWS
Jordan has warned of an Israeli takeover of holy sites in Jerusalem and held an emergency meeting with Muslim-dominated countries in its capital Amman.
Israeli authorities insist they have control over sites in Jerusalem’s Old City including Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock despite lacking international recognition.
Some US officials are calling for Jordan to be stripped of its custodianship over these sites and turn them into multi-faith venues, as Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir provocatively allowed Jewish worshippers to enter a compound reserved for Muslim prayers.
