Jordan declares any Jews on the Temple Mount "illegal and hostile"

From Ammon News:
Jordan holds Israel fully responsible for the continuous desecration and violation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the subsequent actions that result from it, the Anadolu Agency reported yesterday.

The official Jordanian news agency reported the official spokesman of the government Mohamed Al-Momani as saying: "Any desecration attempt of the noble yards or entrance by the Israelis is considered illegal and hostile actions against Muslims and Islamic sites."
Clearly the Jordanian government doesn't include Israeli Muslims among the "Israelis" that they claim are desecrating the Temple Mount, nor are they saying that Jewish tourists are free to visit. The official position of the Jordanian government is that Jews visiting their holiest site, no matter how respectfully, is inherently a hostile action against Muslims.

Last year Mahmoud Abbas threatened to take legal action against Jews visiting the Temple Mount. I wish he would go to the ICC with such a complaint. Muslim intolerance for other religions would be a great court case.

I showed that harassing or banning Jews from visiting the Temple Mount is a violation of international law here.
