US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Saturday that Israel and Jordan have agreed on steps aimed at reducing tensions at a holy site in Jerusalem that have fanned Israeli-Palestinian violence. Kerry said Netanyahu had expressed a commitment to continue enforcing the status quo, which says only Muslims may pray at the compound, while non-Muslims may only visit.

Jordan is custodian of the site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

An Israeli government source told Ynet that Israel has an interest in installing cameras in the Temple Mount in order to disprove claims that Israel is changing the status quo. In addition, said the source, Israel wants to show that provocations are not started by the Israeli side.

Sounds like they need a Jew Detector to keep Jews off one of the holiest of Jewish sites, the site of two temples representing a religion that pre-dates Islam by some 2500 years. How about snipers as well?

I don’t know whether I’m going to be happier to see Obama or this old horse-faced, America/Israel hater go after the next “election”.
