King Abdullah II of Jordan on Wednesday warned Israel not to continue its violations in Jerusalem and against Al-Aqsa Mosque while condemning its illegal attempts to expel Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem neighborhoods, according to a statement by the royal court.

During his meeting with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the King said Jordan will continue its efforts to safeguard Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, highlighting the necessity to preserve the holy city's historical and legal status quo.
