Jordan's role on the Temple Mount is actually in Israel's interest
One thing that often gets overlooked in discussions about Jerusalem is that Jordan's role on the Temple Mount isn't just a concession to the Arab world it also serves several Israeli interests.
The 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty explicitly recognized Jordan's special role in Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. More importantly, after more than 30 years, that arrangement has generally proven useful for maintaining stability.
What makes Jordan the best partner for this task:
• Jordan is one of the few neighboring countries that has maintained a durable peace treaty with Israel for decades.
• The Hashemite monarchy derives part of its legitimacy from its role as custodian of Islamic holy sites which gives Jordan a strong incentive to prevent escalation and preserve order.
• If Jordan's role were weakened, other actors could try to fill the vacuum, including Hamas, Iran-backed groups, Turkey, Qatar, KSA or various Islamist movements that are far less aligned with Israeli security interests and/or more capable.
• The arrangement helps separate religious administration from broader political disputes, reducing the likelihood that every incident becomes a regional crisis.
• Jordan has consistently supported preservation of the status quo, which many Israeli security officials view as the least risky option available.
You don't have to agree with every Jordanian policy to recognize that, from a strategic standpoint, having a stable, predictable partner overseeing Muslim religious affairs is preferable to a power vacuum or a competition among more radical actors.
