Israel and Jordan have agreed on moves aimed at reducing tensions surrounding a prominent holy site in Jerusalem.
The United States Secretary of State JOHN KERRY made this known after talks in Jordan, the formal custodian of what is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and as Haram al-Sharif to Muslims.
Issues relating to the complex have been at the centre of fresh violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
KERRY said Israel had renewed a pledge to maintain existing rules there.
In the latest rise in violence, at least eight Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in knife or gun attacks by Palestinians, following rumours that Israel was planning to change the rules.
About fifty Palestinians, including several of the attackers, have been killed in recent weeks.
JOHN KERRY, who is on a tour of the region, met with the Palestinian leader MAHMOUD ABBAS and King ABDULLAH OF JORDAN.
