Stripping Jordan of Al-Aqsa custodianship would trigger 'outbreak of violence', expert says
A US-Israeli plan to strip Jordan of its custodianship of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex could trigger widespread violence, warns Israeli-American attorney Daniel Seidemann. The proposal, involving a new 'multi-faith centre' allowing Jewish prayer at the site, risks destabilizing the region by undermining Jordan's historic role in managing the holy site.
