The Zionist Knesset has cancelled a planned session to discuss a proposal for imposing oversight of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds (occupied East Jerusalem).

The session was cancelled over the dissatisfaction of the Jordanian government and international bodies with the move, the Zionist radio reported.

The Knesset was due to hold a special session on Tuesday to discuss a proposal by Knesset member Moshe Feiglin to impose Zionist oversight of holy sites in Al-Quds.

Since the 1950s, Jordan has administered and overseen all Muslim and Christian religious sites in Jerusalem's Old City.

A 1994 peace treaty between Jordan and the Zionist entity recognizes Jordan's special supervisory role over holy sites in the historical city.

Angered Jordanian lawmakers on Sunday asked their government to expel the Zionist ambassador and revoke the 1994 peace agreement in protest.

Al-Quds was captured by occupation army during the 1967 Middle East war. In 1980, Tel Aviv annexed the city in a move that was never recognized by the international community.
