WorldJordan calls emergency meeting over Israel’s potential to ‘trigger religious conflict’

Jordan is calling an emergency meeting of foreign ministers from Arab and Islamic countries over what it describes as an “imminent” threat of an Israeli takeover of Jerusalem’s most important religious site. The kingdom warns that such a move could “trigger a religious conflict.” The warning follows an escalating series of government-backed incursions by Jewish religious extremists around the al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock compound. Jordan says those actions breach the status quo treaty it oversees.
