Islamic endowments minister says Israel wants to partition the Temple Mount
Jordanian minister accused Israel on Wednesday of planning to partition the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount plaza surrounding it in order to erect the third Temple.
Islamic Endowments Minister Abdul Salam Abadi told a visiting clerical delegation from Australia that he received instructions from the “Hashemite leadership” to safeguard the Arab and Islamic identity of Jerusalem, Jordanian media reported.
Abadi said Israel was planning to divide the mosque from its courtyards with a 144-dunam structure.
Jordan, which extended its sovereignty to East Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1950, continues to administer the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount. Abadi told the Australian delegation that his ministry employs 600 civil servants in Jerusalem and oversees 40 Jerusalem schools.
According to the independent Jordanian daily Al-Ghad, Abadi stressed the need to support the residents of Jerusalem “in their steadfastness in the face of the repeated Israeli attacks on the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem.”
He did not expand on what he meant.
Jordan and Israel signed a peace agreement in 1994.
Jews are banned from praying on the Temple Mount by the Jordanian department of endowments, known as the Waqf, which administers the plaza surrounding the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

Rock on Israel, build that Temple! But as Jesus said, “But I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple.” (Matt. 12: 6) And as in John’s Gospel, Jesus said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2: 19)…of course “He was speaking of the temple of His body.” (verse 21) And even in the Millennial Kingdom “Christ Jesus” will be that “Temple”… “and the name of the city from that day shall be, THE LORD IS THERE.” (Ezek. 48: 35) (Jehovah Shammah)
Muslims! These are the same people that want everyone, that doesn’t believe exactly as they do, dead. These are the same people that build “in-your-face” mosques in very country in the world. Sick of their whiny miserable attitudes!

Where has this clown been:
The initial text discussing the Third Temple is written in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 40, where, on the day of Yom Kippur of the Hebrew calendar 3372, Ezekiel prophesies the third temple architecture as well as envisioning the permanent entrance of the God of Israel through the eastern gate of the third temple wall.
