I hope you clicked on that link, to read the article... but also to see some... pictures. I will share only what was stated (I copied/pasted):
Jordan has condemned a decision by Israel to advance a plan to build a railway line and station underneath the heart of Jerusalem's Old City.
The Israeli transport ministry said on Monday that a new route had been approved for an extension of the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem high-speed railway.
A 3km (2-mile) tunnel will lead to the Western Wall - one of Judaism's holiest sites - in the city's occupied east.
Jordan called the move a "flagrant violation of international law".
Foreign ministry spokesman Daifallah al-Fayez urged the international community to "assume its responsibilities to resist the illegitimate and illegal Israeli steps".
Jordan has special responsibility for overseeing the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem - including the compound behind the Western Wall, known to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary) and to Jews as the Temple Mount - via an Islamic trust called the Waqf.
The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel regards Jerusalem as its "eternal and undivided" capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem - occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war - as the capital of a future state.

The Israeli plan to extend the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem high-speed line to the Western Wall, which attracts millions of visitors and worshippers a year, was unveiled in 2017 by then Transport Minister Israel Katz.
He also said the station underneath the Old City would be named after US President Donald Trump, who controversially recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital that year.
On Monday, the Israeli transport ministry announced that the National Planning and Building Council had approved a new route for the railway extension following a directive from Mr Katz's successor, Bezalel Smotrich, according to Israeli media.
It did not provide any details about the route, but it will reportedly involve building two underground stations and digging a tunnel beneath central Jerusalem.
Mr Smotrich described the plan as "historic" and said it was "very good news for Israeli residents and the millions of tourists who come to Jerusalem".
"We are also succeeding in promoting the Zionist and Jewish agenda," he added.
Last November, the Israeli authorities approved a plan to build a cable-car network that would ferry visitors 1.4km from West Jerusalem to the Western Wall.
Officials said the project would reduce traffic congestion, but critics said it would damage the historic landscape of the Old City - a Unesco World Heritage site.

The long-delayed high-speed train link brings relief to commuters, but angers some Palestinians
Wow!
To me, it is truly evil that Islamic people... like what we usually call Muslims... and are known in Israel as Palestinians... not only hates Christianity... but also hates... Jewish people... for if they didn't, they wouldn't speak against them... like you just read in this article and/or may have read in other articles.
I hate evilness.
Thinking about that, made me think about Proverbs 8:13, "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.".
Amen! The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Please realize that I hope that anyone Islamic... will gain salvation and everlasting life... by trusting in/believing upon our Lord, Jesus Christ... for if they do, they will not just accept Him... but, will also realize that they were taught that Jesus wasn't the Son of God the Father, who sent Jesus to be born on earth... and submit His life... to pay the price for the sin of the world... for all who believe upon Him.
After all, they do NOT believe that... even though it is the truth... for their god... who is NOT our God... has NOT taught them... what they truly need.
Hopefully, they will become a Christian... for if they do become a believer, then... when their life ends here on earth... they will spend eternity with Him... but, if they don't... then they will spend eternity in Hell, separated from God... with NO chance of escape.
Yes, I pray for them.
Hopefully, you will pray, also.
If you do, I believe God will bless you.
Thank you!
Thank You, Lord!
Until next time...
