Amman, Jakarta Warn against Any Attempts to Alter Al-Aqsa Mosque’s Status Quo
King Abdullah II of Jordan and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, during their talks in Amman on Monday, condemned Israeli violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and attempts to divide it both "temporally and spatially," according to a statement by Jordan's Royal Court.
The king also reaffirmed Jordan's custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in al-Quds.
On Monday, hundreds of Israelis stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a site revered by both Muslims and Jews in East Jerusalem al-Quds, performing religious rituals to mark the Jewish Passover holiday.

While non-Muslim visitors are permitted at the compound under the current arrangements, they are not allowed to pray there. This incident marks the latest episode in a series of confrontations between Zionist settlers and Palestinians that have repeatedly tested the fragile status quo at the site.
The leaders also discussed efforts to end the war in the Gaza Strip, restore the ceasefire, resume the flow of humanitarian aid, and support the steadfastness of Palestinians on their land. They emphasized the importance of creating a political horizon to achieve a just and comprehensive peace.
Subianto arrived in Jordan on Sunday for a two-day visit following his trip to Qatar.
