Jordanian MPs have called for a 1994 peace treaty with Israel to be scrapped after the Jewish state's parliament debated Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a daily reported Wednesday. "The motion came in response to Israel's actions in Jerusalem and to the Knesset debate of a law that seeks to impose Israel's sovereignty over Al-Aqsa," Al-Rai quoted MPs as saying in the motion. Under the peace treaty, Jordan is the custodian of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. "Israel's actions clearly violate the peace treaty... it is aggression against Jordanian custodianship," the motion said.
