Jordanian security forces dispersed the crowds as they attempted to approach the Israeli embassy in Amman, while protestors hurled stones at security forces deployed around the Israeli embassy, according to local news websites.

The demonstrators held the sit-in in protest of calls by Israel 's Likud Party to storm into the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to build the Jews alleged temple.

Members of the Israeli right-wing Likud party on Thursday called for storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Sunday to build their alleged temple on the ruins of the mosque, Israeli right wing websites were quoted by official Palestinian news agency Wafa as saying.
