AMMAN – 25 July 2017: Jordanian Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi said Tuesday that Jordanian King Abdullah II is spearheading intensive efforts to safeguard the sanctity of Al Aqsa Mosque and preserve the status quo at al Quds holy site in cooperation with the Palestinian and Arab brothers, Petra News reported.
He said at a press conference that Jordan's diplomacy is ongoing, adding that al Quds is "a case above politics and not subject to bargaining".
The minister also said there were no deals or negotiations in handling a shooting incident at the Israeli embassy in Amman on Sunday in which an embassy staffer shot dead two Jordanians.
The minister said Jordan had insisted that the Israeli diplomat not leave the country before taking a statement from him in the investigation into the shooting, despite his diplomatic immunity.
