Jordan denounces closing of Al-Aqsa after attempted stabbing attack

Jordan denounced on Saturday the closing of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the removal of worshipers from the complex after an attempted stabbing attack on Friday.

"We denounce and oppose these steps, which hurt the sanctity of the place and the feelings of those who pray there, and Muslims around the world,” Amman said in a statement. 

“It is a violation of Israel’s commitments. The Israeli government is responsible for these provocations and must stop them immediatly.”
