Jordan's King Abdullah II is pressing Israel not to pass a bill allowing Jews to exercise their religious rights and pray on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, a senior official of the Hashemite kingdom revealed on Tuesday.
Jordanian Ambassador to "Palestine" Khalid al-Shawabka told the Palestinian Arab Ma'an News Agency that a bill proposed by MK Miri Regev (Likud) dividing prayer time at the Mount, as is done in Hevron's Cave of Machpelah, is "unacceptable," calling the Al-Aqsa Mosque (often used as a euphemism for the entire Temple Mount) and Jerusalem "red lines."
Currently the Jordanian Waqf (Islamic trust) has de facto control of the site and pays the salaries of local staff. Al-Shawabka further revealed the Hashemite kingdom invests 7 million dinars ($9 million) into Jerusalem developmental projects every year through the Palestinian Authority (PA) ministry of endowment.
The figure is an important revelation, as the PA has no legal jurisdiction over the undivided capital of Israel - it is possible the "projects" refer to the 40,000 illegal Arab housing units in Jerusalem, which grow at a rate of roughly 800 per year.
The ambassador added that King Abdullah II himself donates $3.5 million from his own pocket to fund projects at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Under Jordan's auspices, the site has been the scene of anti-Semitic graffiti, the destruction of Jewish artifacts, and constant violent Arab rioting.
However, al-Shawabka claimed it was Arab residents who were being victimized, saying: "Jordan's foreign minister has sent strongly-worded messages to foreign ministers of member states of the UN Security Council and to the UN demanding an end to the systematic assaults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and on worshipers."

Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount is not allowed now and won’t be anytime soon.
So the Chaos at the Holy City begins.
IS pressing Jordan to become part of the Caliphate.
The Muslim are deathly afraid that the Jews will rebuild the Holy Temple.
I have respect for Abdullah as one of the more “moderate” muslim leaders. However, in this case he should be told to pound sand.
Abdullah can go and fock himself with a rusty chainsaw.
Blow up the mosque—Rebuild the temple!
Let the Caliph Al-Baghdadi take care of this “King”—when they take over he better flee to the USA or lose his head.
real apartheid is practiced by islam.
these muslims descrate Jewish Holy Sites then prevent Jews from worshipping there now how is that peaceful!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Our President has red lines, the King of Jordan has red lines. No one cares. There's no reason Jews shouldn't be allowed to pray on the Temple Mount, Christians too.
I managed to sneak in a prayer when I was up there.
Luckily, I didn’t get caught!
Stop them, idolator.
