Salah-e-Din, after the Battle of Hittin and the conquest of Jerusalem, suggested that Maimonides urge the Jews to return to the country and resettle Jerusalem (as recorded by an other Jewish scholar of those times, Rabbi Yehuda al-Harizi). The famous Nachmanides Synagogoe in the Old City of Jerusalem, built several decades thereafter under the Mameluk rulers, bears witness to this resettling.
Dahr-el-Omar, the sheikh who conquered Galilee from the Turks in the 18th century,
told the leading rabbis in Constantinople and Morocco that the time of the Jewish
exile was over, and that the Jews should return to their homeland and rebuild
it. Indeed, from that time onward, the Movement of Return to the Land gained
more and more momentum.
