Jordan’s King Abdullah II said on Wednesday that his country has “legal and diplomatic choices in the face of Israeli violations in Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Anadolu has reported.
“We are carrying out duties towards Jerusalem using all available means,” the king told a delegation from the Muslim Council of Elders. “Nothing turns our attention from Jerusalem despite the [other] problems and crises in the region.”
King Abdullah stressed that the Middle East is facing international challenges and this needs joint efforts on the security, military and economic levels to face them. He reiterated the importance of bringing all efforts together in order to build an international strategy to fight terror and extremism, protect Muslims and face the increasing hatred against Islam and Muslims.
The Muslim Council of Elders consists of a number of senior Muslim scholars from different parts of the world. It was established in 2014 with the goal of spreading respect for scholars and science, as well as spreading dialogue and tolerance.
