Amman (Agenzia Fides) - For the Jordanian royal family, the Hashemite Custodianship of Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites "is a duty, a commitment, a firm belief, and a responsibility we have proudly undertaken for more than a hundred years". With these words, King Abdallah II of Jordan solemnly reaffirmed the role of the royal family as guardian of the Christian holy places in his so-called "Speech from the Throne" on Thursday 10 December in Amman, on the occasion of the inauguration of the 19th extraordinary session of the Jordanian Parliament.
"We have not, and will never, waver from defending Jerusalem, its holy sites, its identity, and its history", added the King of Jordan, rejecting any attempt to alter the status quo of the Holy City, a "symbol of peace", and to modify the current layout of the area around Al Aqsa Mosque.

I trust that we are correct.
To be fair, the custody and protection of the church of the holy sepulchre in Jerusalem has been with two Muslim families since the 8th century
Let’s hope.
I believe he’s a new kind of King......kind of hard to hate people you befriended and partied with in the U.S.
