Jordan's king welcomes announcement on Temple Mount 'status quo'

Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Sunday said he welcomed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statement regarding maintaining the “status quo” on the Temple Mount - so long as it is implemented.

"I followed up on the Israeli prime minister's remarks last night and his assurances to commit to the status quo arrangements, and not to change it. This commitment is a welcome matter, pending its implementation on the ground," King Abdullah said during a meeting with visiting Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, according to the official Jordanian news agency Petra.
