Foreign news sources are reporting that Jordan has decided to not continue with their project to place cameras on the Temple Mount.
The idea was launched after numerous Arab riots and acts of terrorism on the Temple Mount, following Islamic leaders’ incitement claims that Israel was “changing the status quo”. The so-called “status quo” forbids Jews from praying on their holiest site due to fear of Islamic violence.

Jordan said they were installing the cameras to watch the Jews.
Local Muslims were strongly opposed to the project, fearing the video feeds would actually be used to identify their terrorists and rioters on the Temple Mount.
