Israel Hayom reported that a former senior member of the defense establishment warned that the government is planning to enter into large-scale talks with the Hashemite Kingdom regarding the situation on the Temple Mount. According to the official, who has spent years dealing with Jordan, negotiations with the royal family will inevitably lead to failure.
The senior official stressed that "the Jordanian royal house, as well as its subordinate Waqf, have no control over the hundreds of thousands of youths who ascend the Mount, and most of the Islamic organizations that operate there.
"There is no point in agreeing with the Jordanian royal house on actions to be taken on the holy site," he pointed out.
