Jordan wants the new surveillance cameras on the Temple Mount to be installed within days and the footage to be streamed live online, The Associated Press (AP) reported Tuesday.
The plan to install security cameras on the compound was announced on Saturday by Secretary of State John Kerry, who said that Israel had agreed to the 24-hour surveillance as a step to calm tensions over the Temple Mount.
Jordan's minister of Islamic Affairs for the Waqf, Ha'il Abed al Hafez, had criticized Israel's involvement in the placement of cameras on the Temple Mount, claiming that the neutral interference of "professional bodies" Israel promised could not be trusted.
Netanyahu has insisted that the cameras "are in Israel's interests," despite intensive criticism both over the decision to continue a ban on Jewish prayer at the holy site and suspicion that Jordan and the Palestinian Authority would exploit the cameras for their own interests/
