A delegation of Jordanian archaeologists arrived at the Temple Mount today, to propose methods to repair the damage caused the Mount's southern wall by the Moslem Waqf's indiscriminate and illegal construction. The Jordanians' arrival is a compromise between Israel and the Waqf; the latter refused to allow Israeli archaeologists to enter the site.
In the meantime, Israeli archaeologists say that have also discovered buckling in the western supportive wall. The affected section, south of the plaza used for Jewish prayer, may have been weakened by water seepage from the unchecked gardening carried out by the Moslem authorities on the Temple Mount.
