AFP - Israel is "playing with fire" in expanding Jewish settlements in annexed Arab east Jerusalem and attempting to alter the Holy City's indentity, Jordan's King Abdullah II said on Thursday.
"We have warned repeatedly that Israel is playing with fire, and Jordan rejects and condemns all measures aimed at changing the identity of Jerusalem and the displacement of its Christian and Muslim Arab population," the king said in an interview with Jordanian journalists.
"East Jerusalem must be the capital of an independent Palestinian state which should be established as soon as possible.
"Jerusalem belongs to the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel in 1967 and, like the other occupied territories, it is subject to unilateral Israel actions that are illegal and illegitimate and will lead to further conflict," the king added.

Waiting for obamma to give the green light to attack Israel to force the issue of giving east Jerusalem to the Palestinians?
Jordan, the same country who machine gunned down the Palestinians who crossed the border into their country like they were rabid dogs?
Jordan killed more Palestinians in September 1970, also known as Black September, than Israel has killed during the three years of suicide bombings that began in the fall of 2000. The brutality of the Jordanian Army toward Palestinian dissidents and terrorists was far more egregious than anything Israel has ever done.
Obama is the one playing with fire, literally. Israel is the apple of God’s eye and I would not be surprised to see the Almighty squash this Kenyan like a bug.
Excellent!
Jeremiah 49:1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
Jeremiah 49:2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
(Ammon, for anyone who didn’t know, is Jordan.)
When Israel unleashes the ‘dogs of war’,Obama will stare like a deer into the headlights and give his best Rodney King impersonation:
‘Can’t we all just get along’
Thankfully Israel has a lot of fire to "play" with -- dozens of megatons worth.
Indeed. The events of Black September are avoided by both the Arab and Western media like the plague.
The communist in chief has made a mistake of epic proportions.
Love it.
Build Baby Build!
Media not reporting that 1/3 of those homes are set aside for Arabs, preserving the status quo.
Israel better start kicking arab ass or be put under for good
The next best hate for the Arabs, right under their hate for the Jewish people, is their hate for each other.
That’s rich coming from a monarch who is not Palestinian but leads a country of 90% Palestinians .
Absolutely!
Jordan, Syria and Egypt tried to enialite Israel in 1967. Why, because they wanted the Palestinians out of their countries and back where they came from before 1947. But Israel instead destroyed attacks from all directions and NOW Israel is supposed to give back these lands and say all is forgiven, we trust you not to try that again?
The King of Jordan is playing with the wrath of Sarah-bot. He needs to shut his pie hole.
I don’t think so. He will have to reveal who he really is in allegiance with, and that is not Israel. AP article about 0 alienating the Jewish voters who so adore him. I wonder if those liberal Jews really care about Israel?
