The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants on Monday summoned the Israeli Chargé d'Affairs in Amman to protest against illegal and provocative Israeli violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Haram Al-Sharif in occupied Jerusalem, and urging Israel to respect freedom of worship.

Ministry spokesman Haitham Abul Ful said the Chargé d'Affairs was handed a letter of protest to his government, including a demand to immediately cease Israeli violations and attempts to change the historical and legal status quo at the Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Haram Al-Sharif and impose a temporal and spatial division of the holy compound.

He said Israeli actions are a serious escalation and a violation of the international law and Israel's obligations as the occupying power.
