Jerusalem and Amman still discussing potential agreement over prayer site ahead of mass Friday protest prayers
A delegation of senior Israeli officials paid a visit to Jordan Thursday in an attempt to reach a solution over the crisis sparked surrounding a disputed prayer site in Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
Jerusalem and Amman have so far failed to reach an agreement regarding the future of the Bab al-Rahma building in the compound, but discussions are still underway between representatives of the two countries.
Meanwhile, the Waqf (Islamic custodian of the Temple Mount) has called on Muslim worshipers to hold protest prayers at the gates of the compound on Friday.
Jerusalem police told Haaretz that they had not gone on high alert ahead of Friday's prayers. "There are no restrictions on entry and the level of forces will be similar in size to every Friday in the Temple Mount area," police said.
