THE
JERUSALEM POST: Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah canceled a
pre-planned Wednesday visit to the Temple Mount after Jordan failed
to uphold the agreed security arrangement with Israel, KAN 11 reported.
The Jordanians were limited to a set number of security
guards but eventually decided to bring a larger number.
When Israel insisted they stick to the agreed upon number,
the Jordanians decided to cancel the visit.
The security of diplomatic guests visiting a country is on
the shoulders of the hosting nation, in this case, Israel.
The Hashemite Kingdom has a historic relationship with Jerusalem and its holy sites, including the Temple Mount, known as al-Haram al-Sharif. Jordan controlled east Jerusalem from 1948-1967, including the Old City.
