Jordan Awaits Trump Deal With Fear, Rumors — Custodian of Temple Mount to be Given to Saudi Arabia? The Plan to Build the 3rd Temple
- My understanding is that: a deal has been struck to take away custodianship of the temple mount from Jordan and give it to the House of Saud. This is to facilitate the building of the 3rd temple once the Palestinians (REAL JEWS) are driven out of West Bank and Gaza, mostly into the north Sinai desert. Thus fulfilling the biblical prophecy of Revelation 12:6,13-14. Once the Palestinians (REAL JEWS) are driven away, there will be few people to protest against the construction of the 3rd temple. Emphasis mine:
– - Jordan Awaits Trump Deal With Fear, Rumors — Custodian of Temple Mount to be Given to Saudi Arabia?
by KHALED ABU TOAMEH, 19 May 2019, https://www.jpost.com/
“Kingdom will pay heavy price whether it accepts or rejects deal of the century.”
As the US administration prepares to roll out its long-awaited plan for peace in the Middle East, there are indications of growing instability and consternation in Jordan. Facing increased demands for major political and economic reforms in the kingdom, King Abdullah II seems worried that his kingdom will pay a heavy price whether it accepts or rejects the deal.
–
The monarch’s biggest fear, political analysts say, is that the plan would require Jordan to absorb millions of Palestinians who are already living in the kingdom. Abdullah is also worried that the plan would end the Hashemites’ historic custodianship over the holy sites in Jerusalem in favor of other Arab and Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
–
In an attempt to reassure the Jordanian monarch, US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, last month took to Twitter to announce: “@King Abdullah II & Jordan are strong US allies. Rumors that our peace vision includes a confederation between Jordan, Israel & the PA [Palestinian Authority], or that the vision contemplates making Jordan the homeland for Palestinians, are incorrect. Please don’t spread rumors.”
–
Greenblatt’s announcement, however, has thus far failed to calm the king and other Jordanians, who continue to talk about a US “conspiracy” against Jordan. Worse, Jordanian officials and political analysts fear that several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, are “colluding” with the Trump administration to force Jordan to make far-reaching concessions so as to facilitate the implementation of the deal.
–
The most significant concession, they believe, will come in the form of the resettlement of millions of Palestinians in the kingdom, where the economy is facing huge challenges not only because of refugees from Palestine, Iraq and Syria and drops in foreign aid, but also as a result of rampant corruption and mismanagement.
–
A report released last week by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that Jordan has continued to preserve macro-economic stability in a difficult environment. As a result, the kingdom will still need substantial donor involvement, the report said.
–
Indicating that global, regional and domestic environments are expected to remain difficult, the IMF report said that Jordan will continue to face the burden of hosting some 1.4 million Syrian refugees at a time of slow growth, high unemployment and sizeable financial needs.
–
The report also pointed out that Jordan has “weathered a series of severe shocks for several years now; in addition to the hosting of the Syrian refugees, the kingdom has also faced a disruption of critical export markets and transportation routes, as well as rising borrowing costs.” The economic crisis and recurring reports about corruption cases in the public and private sectors have sparked a wave of protests in Amman and other Jordanian cities in the past few months.
–
The protests are mainly directed against the government, although a few Jordanians have also taken the unusual step of criticizing the king and holding him responsible for the bad policies of the government. The protests recently prompted Abdullah to order a reshuffle of the Jordanian cabinet – the third of its kind in less than a year. The move is seen in the context of the king’s effort to tackle economic challenges and prepare Jordan for Trump’s peace deal.
–
Jordanian Minister of State for Media Affairs Jumana Ghunaimat said last March that “some individuals try to question Jordan’s stances in an attempt to destabilize the country.”
–
Jordan’s stance on the Palestinian issue and Jerusalem is unwavering, namely the two-state solution in accordance with international legitimacy and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, she added.
–
Her remarks reflect Jordan’s concern over Trump’s upcoming plan, particularly in wake of reports that it makes no reference to the two-state solution. This has sparked a wave of rumors among Jordanians regarding a US-Israeli “conspiracy” to turn Jordan into a Palestinian state. The rumors have been reinforced by claims that Abdullah was being kept out of the loop about the details of the peace plan.
