Jordan is intensifying diplomatic efforts to restore calm in occupied East Jerusalem as it finds itself once more on a collision course with Israel, in particular over the status of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound (Haram al-Sharif, or what Israelis call Temple Mount). On May 10, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi met with his US counterpart, Antony Blinken, at the State Department discussing the serious conditions in the city of Jerusalem and the efforts aimed at stopping the escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories, according to local media quoting Jordan’s Foreign Ministry. Safadi reiterated that “Jerusalem was a red line” for Jordan, and that the focus now is on stopping the escalation. For that to happen, all illegal and provocative Israeli practices against Palestinian citizens of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the violations at Al-Aqsa must stop.
