> Jordan condemns Israel violations near Al-Aqsa Mosque

VERY NOTABLE for more reasons than it implies.

> Al-Buraq

The Jews prayed at the Western Wall because it was the closest that they were allowed to get to their holiest site, the Temple Mount. The Muslim Brotherhood in the 20th century identified the Western Wall as the Al-Buraq wall of the Night Journey myth to justify denying it to the Jews. Jordan is adopting this propaganda to claim Israeli territory.

> Foreign ministry spokesman, Sufian Al-Qudat, said that only the Palestinian Authority (PA) is responsible

Jordan insists that Israel surrender the Western Wall area to the PLO.

> Israel, as an occupying power

Jordan refuses to accept Israel's claim to its own capitol.

> He blamed the Israeli occupation

Jordan refuses to accept Israel's existence.

> for anything which undermines the safety of the mosque and its worshippers

Jordan has accused Israel of an act of war against Muslims because a brick fell out of the 3,000-year-old Western Wall last year.

It sure looks like Jordan has declared war on Israel.
