... Jordan still does lay claim to Jerusalem and king hussein is the custodian of the temple mount...

Here brucey is a hysterical history sliver of this religious mound that rocks the ME cart:

.... Israel also held back when it received a slap in the face from Jordan, another important member of the “regional club.” Jordan is one of the countries which suggested that UNESCO adopt the resolution denying the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, and its spokesman, Mohammad al-Momani, stated that “if Israel fails to obey international law, Jordan will make a diplomatic effort to prove Jerusalem’s historical status.”
In other words, it will “prove” that the Jews have no historical past in the city. Israel did not respond to this grotesque threat either, maintaining the illusion of the “regional” idyll.
Israel’s entire conduct in Jerusalem allegedly confirms the Arab historical fraud. Otherwise, how can an Arab explain to himself the special status that the state has given Jordan on the Temple Mount? Why has it granted the Jordanian Waqf sovereign powers, and why do its police turn a blind eye when the waqf people degrade and humiliate Jews visiting the Mount? And why did it let them destroy every antiquity preceding the Muslim occupation on the Mount? Would any other government do that if its ancient temples were really buried there? And how did Israel allow the construction of one of the world’s biggest mosques under the Mount, while Jews holding holy books or mumbling a prayer are banished from the place or arrested? Is that the conduct of a state which really has national treasures there? And the veto right it gave the Jordanians to prevent the reconstruction of the Mughrabi Gate and any construction in the Western Wall plaza in general – would Israel, the military power, have agreed to all of this had it believed that it really had historical rights there?

We can see for ourselves that Jordan has a basis for al-Momani’s threat to “prove” that the Jews have no rights in Jerusalem, and the main proof is Israel’s conduct.

The Israeli self-deprecation vis-à-vis Jordan is as old as the state. When Jordan’s leaders, from the late Hussein onwards, allowed themselves to reprimand Israel over alleged violations of international law, our state failed to remind them, for example, of the bombing and destruction of all the synagogues in the Old City, of the displacement of gravestones on the Mount of Olives in favor of building toilets and paving roads, and of the ban on Jewish access to any place that is holy to them, including the Western Wall, in violation of their international commitment. Official Israel has never responded with the question: Who are you to preach us? ......

There is heaps more if you care to be rational.

".... Even more astonishing was the Israeli decision, at the moment of victory, to concede sovereignty over the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. .... " .
So to correct you brucey, Jordan does not "lay claim"; they are beneficiaries of Israel's hysterical gaffe
of History.

On reading with an OPEN MIND, you may yet become a Righteous Gentile.
