TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH -- More on the proposed new minaret:
Jordan plans new Temple Mt. minaret
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS

Israel has not objected to Jordanian plans to construct a fifth minaret on the Temple Mount, and the Hashemite Kingdom is pressing ahead with plans to do so early next year, a senior Jordanian official said Wednesday.

The minaret, which will be constructed on the eastern wall of the Temple Mount near the Golden Gate, will at 42 meters be the highest of the minarets on the Mount and the first to be built in more than 600 years, Dr. Raief Najim, vice chairman of the committee running the project, told The Jerusalem Post in a telephone interview from Amman.

[...]
However, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office says that no decision has been made yet.
