Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi, Thursday, discussed with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini the latest developments in the Al-Aqsa Mosque/Haram Al-Sharif.

The minister warned against the repercussions of the recent tensions, which could be de-escalated by obliging Israel to respect the historical and legal situation in the mosque and to fully and immediately open the holy shrine before worshippers. Israel, he added, must cancel all its unilateral actions.

Jordan is exerting its utmost to restore calm and end the crisis, based on principles of security, stability and Israel’s respect of the historical situation in Jerusalem, Safadi told Mogherini.

He also underscored the importance of the international community to de-escalate the situation and prevent further tensions, by cancelling all Israeli actions that aim to impose new facts on the ground.
