According to Abbas' office, the two discussed the clashes in Jerusalem, an event they called "Israeli escalation," as well as "ways to defend Jerusalem and the Islamic and Christian holy sites."

Palestinian news outlet Wafa reported that Abbas "reiterated the need to put pressure on the Israeli government to halt its occupation's unilateral measures, [and] respect the signed agreements."

A statement by the Jordanian Royal Court said Abdullah called on the international community "to restore calm in the Holy City, and to prevent the recurring attacks against Islamic and Christian holy sites and the people there."

He further noted that Jordan stepped up coordination with various countries to prevent escalation in the Al-Aqsa compound.

Jodan was afforded control of of the Islamic Waqf – an Islamic religious trust best known for controlling and managing the Islamic edifices on and around the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock – as part of its peace treaty with Israel.
