Jordan has condemned an Israeli decision to install an elevator linking parts of the Old City of Occupied Jerusalem with the Buraq Wall, the Aqsa Mosque’s western wall.

Expressing Jordan's rejection to all unilateral Israeli measures, Dhaifallah Fayez, spokesman for the Jordanian foreign ministry, said this project would change the nature of the Old City and its Arab identity, according to a ministry statement.

He also described such Israeli step as a violation of the international law and relevant resolutions issued by the UNESCO.

The Jordanian spokesman called on Israel to halt all activities aimed at changing the identity of the Old City and to respect its commitments under international law.
