AMMAN, Jordan — Seeking to end the latest round of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, Secretary of State John Kerry said on Saturday that Israel and Jordan had agreed to take steps toward defusing tensions at one of Jerusalem’s holiest sites, whose fate has been at the center of recent bloodshed.

Israel agreed to a suggestion made by King Abdullah II of Jordan that cameras be installed to provide 24-hour video access to the site, known as the Temple Mount to Jews and the Noble Sanctuary to Muslims, Mr. Kerry said. The Israelis and Jordanians will meet in coming days to work out the details, he said.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel issued a statement on Saturday night affirming his country’s commitment to maintaining the status quo for worship at the site, without mentioning any specific new steps.

“Israel will continue to enforce its longstanding policy: Muslims pray on the Temple Mount; non-Muslims visit the Temple Mount,” he said. “As we have said many times, Israel has no intention to divide the Temple Mount, and we completely reject any attempt to suggest otherwise.”
