    The Prime Minister's Office today, (Monday, 26 Oct 2015), made the following statement:
     
    Final arrangements for the manner and location of the cameras on the Temple Mount, which was agreed upon between Israel, Jordan and the United States, were supposed to be coordinated at the professional level.
     
    US Secretary of State John Kerry said this at a press conference on Saturday (24 October) with the Foreign Minister of Jordan: "I am also very pleased to announce today that Prime Minister Netanyahu has agreed to what I think is an excellent suggestion by King Abdullah to provide 24-hour video coverage of all sites on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif... I expect Jordanian and Israeli technical teams will meet soon to discuss the implementation of this idea alongside other measures to maintain and enhance public order and calm."
