AMMAN, (PIC)-- Jordan’s Minister of Political Development Khaled al-Kalaldeh vowed that Jordan will never give up its position as the guardian of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Occupied Jerusalem.
Kalaldeh said in a press release Tuesday: “Jordan shall resist all attempts at imposing a new fait accompli perpetrated via the spatio-temporal division of holy al-Aqsa Mosque and settlement expansion.”
The minister held Israelis, affiliated with the extremist right wing, accountable for the pre-planned sacrilegious assaults targeting al-Aqsa Mosque.
He further slammed Israel’s extremist rightists for spearheading talks in the Knesset over dividing the Mosque.
In another development, the United Nations Security Council will convene an emergency meeting Wednesday to address the recent wave of Israeli settlement activity in occupied East Jerusalem.
The session was requested by Jordan on behalf of the state of Palestine following a call from Palestine’s U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour, who wrote in a letter Tuesday to the UNSC that current Israeli actions threaten to “ignite another cycle of violence.”
The letter warned of “the dangerously escalating tensions in East Jerusalem” following the Israeli government’s decision Monday to construct another 2,000 Jewish-only settlement units, mostly in Occupied Jerusalem.
While addressing the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that Israel’s "illegal" settlement activity in occupied East Jerusalem is threatening the prospects of a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"International law is clear: Settlement activity is illegal. It runs totally counter to the pursuit of a two-state solution. I urge the Israeli government to reverse these activities," he said.
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at US and European criticism of the plan for more settlement building, saying the statements were “detached from reality.”
But Netanyahu insisted Israel would not change course, claiming: “We will continue to build in Jerusalem, our eternal capital.”
The move makes part of a larger Judaization scheme aimed at wiping out the typically Islamic character of Occupied Jerusalem and Muslims’ holy sites.
