Jordan’s King Abdullah II is calling upon the international community to intervene, accusing Israel of compromising “Islamic holy sites in East Jerusalem and Har HaBayis”.

The Jordanian state-run Petra news agency reports that Abdullah blames Israel for creating religious conflict surrounding holy sites, warning of the ramifications of Jerusalem’s actions in the region.

The Jordanian monarch told a delegation of visitors from Jerusalem, that his country will continue monitoring events in Jerusalem and will safeguard the interests of the Islamic community against Israel’s “unilateral unacceptable actions seeking to create the identity of the city”.
