Knesset passes mosque prayer ban
The Israeli Knesset has approved a bill that prohibits the call to prayer in mosques and imposes fines of up to $16,000 for installing or operating loudspeakers without permits. The law allows for the immediate cessation of the call to prayer and the suspension of loudspeaker use. The aim of the legislation is to reduce noise pollution and is based on comparisons to similar restrictions in some Arab countries. The bill was supported by extremist members, despite criticisms claiming that its true goal is to protect public health.
