Israeli violations at Al Aqsa to be reported
Jewish raids on the Muslim holy site has triggered months of unrest
Ramallah: Jordan will establish an international judicial committee to inspect and document Israel’s violations of a status quo agreement on Al Haram Al Sharif.
The committee will document violations and eventually use them for future criminal procedures against the Israeli regime.
Jordan is regionally recognised as the custodian of Muslim holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, in the absence of a Palestinian state.
A fierce wave of violence has swept Israel and Palestine over the past four months after consistent Jewish raids on Al Haram Al Sharif, which houses the Al Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam.
Under a status quo agreement with the Israeli regime, Jews are allowed to visit the holy site but not pray there.
Palestinians view the raids as a flagrant aggression on Muslim and Palestinian heritage. They say Israelis want to erase Palestinian identity from the city and completely Judaise it.
Hanna Eisa, Secretary General of the Christian-Muslim Commission for support of Jerusalem holds Israel responsible for the current upswing in violence and says the Israeli regime has encouraged the illegal raids.
He says Arab and Muslim states should work actively with the United Nations to highlight Israeli abuses.
