The Israeli Prime Minister's Office says no decision will be made out of foreign pressure
The situation on Jerusalem's Temple Mount is unchanged and there are no new developments, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said Tuesday, following reports that Israel accepted Jordan's request to increase its power at the holy site.
On Monday, Kan public broadcaster reported that Israel's Public Security Minister Omer Barlev gave into Jordan's demands to add an additional 50 members to the Waqf – the Jordanian-ruled council that administers the Islamic sites on the Al Aqsa Mosque compound.
Immediately after, Jordan's Waqf Islamic Affairs Ministry urged that it doesn't need "participation or dictation" over the appointment of security guards at Jerusalem's holy complex.
It pointed out that it is the only body responsible for implementing custodianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites and “the historical and legal status quo” of Jerusalem.
