The Arab League was set to meet for an emergency session Wednesday after Israeli forces entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque overnight and clashed with Palestinians inside.
Jordan, in partnership with the Palestinian Authority and Egypt, had earlier called for the body to hold an emergency session.
A statement published by Jordan’s Foreign Ministry said Amman sought the meeting after Israeli forces “stormed” the flashpoint Al-Aqsa.
“The Israeli aggression is unacceptable and its goal is to change the historical and legal status of Jerusalem. We take all steps and measures to stop the dangerous Israeli escalation that threatens the entire region,” the statement said.
