Jordan Calls Emergency Meeting Over al-Aqsa Mosque Threat

Jordan hosts foreign ministers from Arab nations, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan on 5 August 2026. The concern: Jordan warns Israel may seize the al-Aqsa mosque compound. The trigger was a 23 July raid by over 2,000 Israelis led by minister Ben Gvir — the worst such breach in modern history. Jordan recalls Ariel Sharon's 2000 visit there, which sparked a major Palestinian uprising.
