The Israeli intransigence and the strong insistence of the occupation police to prevent i'tikaf in Al-Aqsa Mosque this year had a wide resonance that raised the astonishment of many, and provoked wide international repercussions. The Union of Temple Organizations mobilized all its energy this year to implement its dream of taking full control of the mosque and carrying out all religious rituals in it.

Israel wants to ensure that the equation in the mosque is reversed, so that it will become, at least in the first stage, a common sanctuary, not just for Muslims. Israel has legislated since 2015 several laws to classify the retreaters and marabouts, and therefore to sponsor this human cover.
