Israeli ministers endorse ‘muezzin bill’ to silence mosques
‘The Israeli Ministerial Committee for Legislation has endorsed a draft law aimed at silencing the Muslim call to prayer.
On Sunday, the committee released a statement which said the “bill for prevention of noise from public address systems in houses of prayer” had been “passed” without giving further information.
The draft legislation is expected to be discussed before the Israeli parliament on Wednesday. If passed, it will be returned to the committee for a second and third reading.
