Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the installation of cameras at Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa mosque compound must be "coordinated" with the Jewish state.
The Jordanian-run Islamic trust that administers the holy site protested earlier that it had been blocked by Israeli police when trying to install the cameras, an agreed measure to ease tensions between Israelis and Palestinians over the holy site.
"Final arrangements for the manner and location of the cameras on the Temple Mount, which was agreed upon between Israel, Jordan and the United States, were intended to be coordinated by the professional elements," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
He recalled that US Secretary of State John Kerry had said after meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II in Amman on Saturday that technical teams from both countries would meed to discuss and arrange the installation of cameras.
