"Any further provocative attempts by Israeli troops and Jewish extremists such as what happened today in the shrine's compound represents a flagrant violation of international law and conventions and sets the stage for more tension and acts of violence," Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs and Communication Nabil Sharif said in a statement on Sunday. "Jordan, out of its historical responsibilities in being the custodian of the holy places in Jerusalem, is extremely worried about what is taking place and warns against going ahead with this provocative behavior on the part of Israeli troops," DPA quoted Sharif as saying. He urged "an immediate end to such dangerous practices, which threaten to derail all opportunities of peace and stability in the region". Israel captured East Al-Quds from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East war. Under a peace treaty, which the two countries signed in 1994, Israel acknowledged Amman's right to be in control of all matters relating to the historical compound. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry also summoned the envoys of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to ask that they intervene immediately to Israel's unilateral steps in East Al-Quds, including excavations and measures designed to force Arab citizens to emigrate. </blockquote>
