    ​Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Monday, 24 July 2017), made the following remarks at the start of his meeting with Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili:

    "I spoke twice overnight with Israeli Ambassador to Jordan Einat Shalin and with the security guard. I gained the impression that she is managing matters there very well. I assured the security guard that we will see to bringing him back to Israel; we have experience in this. I told both of them that we are holding ongoing contacts with security and government officials in Amman, on all levels, in order to bring the incident to a close as quickly as possible.
    The Jordanian Ambassador to Israel arrived at the Foreign Ministry this morning and was asked to assist on the matter.
    We are also holding contacts on various other channels with one objective – to bring the incident to a close and to bring our people to Israel. And we are doing this determinedly and responsibly.
    Thus we are also acting regarding the right way to ensure security and quiet on the Temple Mount, in the Old City and in Jerusalem as a whole.
    To this end, the Security Cabinet will reconvene on the issue later today."
