Description :
US Secretary of State John Kerry says Israel and the Palestinians have pledged to take concrete steps to calm tensions around Jerusalem’s holiest site.
He spoke after talks in Amman with King Abdullah of Jordan which is custodian of the compound housing the al-Aqsa mosque but also revered by Jews as the Temple Mount.
All parties had agreed to “specific and practical actions that both sides can take to restore calm,” said Kerry, declining to say what those actions were.
“We are working to smother the sparks of immediate tension so that they don’t become a fire that is absolutely out of control,” he added, flanked by Jordanian Foreign Minister Naser Judeh.
“And the first thing we have to do is restore calm, before you can talk about other alternatives. The United States stands ready to be engaged, provided the parties themselves begin to create the climate.”
