REVEALED: The secret US-Israeli plan threatening Al Aqsa mosque

MEE can reveal the US and Israel are "actively working" to strip Jordan of its historic custodianship of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque complex. The revered Muslim site has been managed for decades by the Jordanian-appointed Islamic Waqf. The new US proposal was championed by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. It seeks to replace the Waqf with a new authority appointed by Israel’s government. The body would declare the Al-Aqsa Mosque a "multi-faith centre" and have the power to monitor everything from the appointment of imams to the content of Friday sermons. Mathilda Mallinson speaks to al-Aqsa expert Dr Abdullah Marouf and MEE journalist Sean Matthews, a bout a US-Israeli proposal to strip Jordan of custodianship of the ancient site.
