| Jordan king warns Israel against changing Aqsa status quo |
| 2015-10-23 |
| Jordanian King Abdullah II again warned Israel on Thursday against any move to change the status quo at Occupied Jerusalem's Al Aqsa mosque compound, while reiterating calls for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The King, whose country has custodial rights over Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, made his remarks in a statement after a meeting with UN chief Ban Ki-moon. Ban has already met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in a bid to get the two sides to rein in violence that has killed 60 people in three weeks. Jordan has previously denounced Israeli actions at the mosque compound, saying they amount to "aggression" against Arab and Muslim nations. The King warned against "any attempt to change the status quo", which Netanyahu has repeatedly promised to preserve. He added that "achievement of a just and comprehensive peace, on the basis of a two-state (Israeli and Palestinian) solution, is the only way out of the crisis in the region." For his part, according to the statement from the royal palace, Ban stressed what he said was the "responsibility of the international community... to achieve a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian question." |

| #1 There is no change at all. You lie for your claim that had been well paid for, and you come again against the only REAL Ally you have. You know damn well what this is about and it is not about that Temple. Aggression ? Ask any Israeli - True Israeli that gets rocketed or stabbed every day. Your moslem world will destroy you and everything you Love. Focus on Jordan. |
