Jordanians protest Israel’s shutdown of al-Aqsa

‘Some 1,000 Jordanians have held a demonstration to vent their anger at Israel’s closure of the al-Aqsa Mosque compound to Muslim worshippers following a deadly gunfight at the holy site.
The protest took place in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Saturday, with the participants holding Jordanian national flags and those belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood.
They also carried placards such as “I am Jordanian and al-Aqsa is my responsibility” and “You scared them, God is great.”
Three Palestinians and two Israeli police officers were killed in a shooting just outside the Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) on Friday.
After the incident, Israeli police shut down the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem al-Quds and canceled Muslim Friday prayers at the site for the first time since 1969.’
