Jordan insists that Jerusalem is a "red line", speaking specifically about the Temple Mount and the Holy Sites there. He claims, "It is our duty to protect the Muslim and Christian sites in Jerusalem."
The question is: Protect the Muslim and Christian holy sites FROM WHAT?!
He also demands that Israel maintain the status quo. Of course, by "status quo" he means that Muslims should be able to do whatever they want, including opening new mosques, stashing weapons and murdering people. All while preventing Jews from ... well, anything. Some status quos seems to be more equal than others.
Further, the article linked says that Jordan is "custodian over the Old City's Holy Sites". Actually, incorrect. Jordan is granted "present special role" with respect to the Muslim Holy Sites. (Not the Jewish and Christian sites -- the Muslim sites).
