The Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Hayel Dawood, condemned media reports that "called for allowing the Jews to pray in some parts of Al-Aqsa compound and for dividing and allocating a part of the compound for Jews".
Speaking to Petra, Dawood stressed "Jordan's constants stand as per which it considered Al-Aqsa compound is the one surrounded by a wall around an area of 144 donum and all the mosques, yards and domes inside." He added that "the compound is a completely Islamic endowment for Muslims and Al-Aqsa is completely indivisible." Dawood also added that the status quo of Al-Aqsa is determined by global organizations and international legitimacy instruments, that consider "the city of Jerusalem as an occupied one and, in its current situation, is not subject to change".
