Jordan Convenes Emergency Arab-Islamic Meeting Over Threatened Israeli Takeover of al-Aqsa

Jordan hosts Arab League foreign ministers plus Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan in Amman on 5 August 2026 to coordinate a response to what Amman warns is an imminent Israeli threat to seize the al-Aqsa compound. The trigger: a 23 July incursion by 2,000-plus Israelis led by minister Ben Gvir — called the worst status quo violation in modern history. Jordan invokes the 2000 Sharon precedent that ignited the second intifada.
