The Israeli occupation Municipality's plan to organise a marathon in occupied Jerusalem as a colonial activity held in collaboration with other colonial organisations is a continuation of the Israeli schemes aimed to Juadise the city. It is a desperate attempt to impose hegemony on the city of Jerusalem. 

All of these plans will not change the Islamic features of the Palestinian capital. 

We call on athletes from all over the world to enhance their boycott of the Israeli occupation, which tries to cover its crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, children, women, and holy places.
