OIC denounces Israel’s interruption of prayer calls
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation expressed its strong condemnation of the Israeli Knesset's approval of a bill that prohibits the call to prayer (adhan) via loudspeakers in Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories of 1948. It considered this a violation of religious and worship freedom, as well as internationally protected cultural and religious rights. The organization stated that the purpose of the law is to target Palestinian presence and the Arab and Islamic identity, representing an escalation in Israeli measures related to the assault on Islamic holy sites. It called on the international community, especially the United Nations, to intervene to halt this escalation and to protect the rights to worship and the Islamic holy sites.
