Biden speaks in favour of Jordan during his meet with the monarch

In a meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II at the White House on Thursday, President Joe Biden emphasised his support for the legal "status quo" of the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem.

The US president "reaffirmed the close, enduring nature of the partnership between the United States and Jordan" during a private lunch with Biden, the king, and Crown Prince Hussein, the White House said.

Biden reiterated "the fundamental need to preserve the historic status quo" in reference to escalating tensions surrounding the Al-Aqsa mosque, which is situated near a location revered by both Muslims and Jews in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem.

According to a statement from the White House, Biden also acknowledged Jordan's "crucial role as the custodian of Muslim sacred places in Jerusalem."

Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Biden reaffirmed US support for "a two-state solution" and thanked King Abdullah for "their close partnership and the role they both play as a force for stability in the Middle East."

Jews, who refer to the complex as the Temple Mount, regard the Al-Aqsa mosque as their most sacred location, making it the third-holiest place in Islam.

Non-Muslims are currently only permitted to visit the location at particular hours but are not permitted to pray there.

Growing numbers of Jews, mostly Israeli nationalists, have been secretly praying at the compound in recent years, infuriating Palestinians. The national security minister of Israel's new far-right government paid a personal visit to the location in January, drawing a barrage of criticism from around the world.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
