Report Leaks Secret ‘Israeli’-Saudi Talks Over Temple Mount

By Staff, Agencies

The Zionist entity and Saudi Arabia have been conducting clandestine talks about including Saudi representatives in the Islamic Waqf Council at the Temple Mount in occupied al-Quds, an ‘Israel’ Hayom report leaked on Monday.

Top anonymous Saudi diplomats told ‘Israel’ Hayom that Saudi Arabia, along with the occupation entity’s regime have been engaged in discussions since December, involving a limited negotiating team of senior diplomats and security officials from the occupation entity, Saudi and the United States.

The talks are part of US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ process suggested for the Middle East, the report stated.

According to a top Saudi diplomat, up to a few months ago the Jordanians adamantly objected to any change in the Waqf Council. But the Hashemite Kingdom has changed its stance amid intensive Turkish interference in east al-Quds and the Temple Mount, the paper added.

Palestinians who were added to the council in recent months have reportedly been allowing for increased involvement of Islamic-Turkish organizations in the holy flashpoint, under the auspices of Turkey.

As a result, the Jordanians have sent messages to ‘Israel’ and the US that they would be ready to soften their position when it comes to integrating Saudi representatives into the Waqf Council.
