A Perfidious Jordanian

We read that Jordan's King stresses need for Israel to cease provocative measures in Al Aqsa Mosque, calling for the respecting of the historical, legal status quo in Jerusalem

And he "reiterated that protecting Jerusalem and its holy sites will remain a priority for Jordan, directing the government to dedicate all capacities to safeguard these sites, as well as the historical and legal status quo in the holy city and its Arab, Islamic and Christian identity."

So, what have we?

A. An accusation that it is Israel that engages in provocative behavior. ot the Jordanian-funded Waqf, not the Isalmic clerics, the Palestinian Authority inciting violent behavior, the youngsters and some others throwing rocks, shooting off fireworks.

B. A complete ignoring a Jerusalem's Jewish identity.

C. A refusal to fulfill the country's obligations to Article 9 of the Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty, that

Each Party will provide freedom of access to places of religious and historical significance [and] The Parties will act together to promote interfaith relations among the three monotheistic religions, with the aim of working towards religious understanding, moral commitment, freedom of religious worship, and tolerance and peace.

D. Denial of history.

Maybe Israel should revisit that treaty?

Statement by PM Bennett

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Foreign Media Adviser)

(Monday, 18 April 2022):

"Over the past week, a Hamas-led incitement campaign has been waged against Israel. Here's the truth: Israel is doing everything so that all peoples, as always, can celebrate the holidays safely - Jews, Muslims and Christians. We expect everyone not to join the lies and certainly not to encourage violence against Jews. The State of Israel will continue to keep our capital, Jerusalem, open to all.”

Jordan Just Can't Stop the Incitement

Again, the official Jordanian News Agency Petra has published a report full of incitement language and this time, it has added an unforgivable claim.

It has all the regular stuff - "extremists", "settlers", "storm" and "provocative".

But now, there is the lie of "the alleged 'Temple Mount':

Extremist settlers storm Al Aqsa compound Ramallah, Feb.7 (Petra) -- Groups of Israeli extremist settlers early Wednesday renewed its storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Haram Al Sharif in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.


The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra’s reporter in Ramallah that today's raid by the Jewish settlers was carried through al-Magharebah Gate under heavy protection of Israeli special forces.


Extremist settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards, and listened to explanations on the alleged "Temple mount", while Muslims worshippers placed in different parts of the mosque protesting against these provocations, Al-Khatib added.

If Petra is just parroting Palestinian Arab propaganda, the King needs to oversee these violations of the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty's Article 9.

UPDATE

It continues. It must be policy:

Dozens of extremist settlers storm Al Aqsa compound 
Ramallah, Feb.11 (Petra)-- Groups Israeli extremist settlers early Sunday stormed compounds of the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Haram Al Sharif in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.

...Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra’s reporter in Ramallah that today's raid by dozens of Jewish settlers was carried through al-Magharebah Gate...Extremist settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards, and received explanations on the alleged "Temple Mount" by rabbis accompanied them, Al-Khatib added.

UPDATE

Today, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi signed a new five-year $6.375 billion ($1.275 billion a year) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Jordan, beginning in FY 2018 and ending in FY 2022.

Mr. Tillerson, can you persuade Jordan to halt its incitement against Jews and their most sacred holy site?

They've done it again:

Settlers storm Al-Aqsa Mosque Ramallah, Feb. 13 (Petra) -- Groups of Israeli extremist settlers early Tuesday stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque/ Haram Al Sharif compound in the occupied holy city of Jerusalem, a Palestinian source confirmed.
The General Director of the Islamic Awqaf and Al-Aqsa Affairs, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, told Petra’s reporter in Ramallah that today's raid by the Jewish settlers was carried out under heavy protection of Israeli special forces and police.
Extremist settlers provocatively toured the Al-Aqsa yards, and were briefed on the alleged "Temple Mount" by rabbis accompanying them, while Muslim worshipers and the mosque's guards peacefully confronted them chanting Allahu Akbar (God is great), Al-Khatib added.

 It's basically the same text regurgitated.
