The Israeli Knesset decided Wednesday to postpone voting on Adhan ban bill till next Monday.

The Arab MKs Ahmed al-Tibi and Masoud Ghanayem affirmed in separate statements that Adhan ban bill vote was postponed till next Monday.

Ghanayem renewed his total rejection of the bill considering the move a violation of the freedom of worship.

On Nov. 13 the Israeli Ministerial Committee on Legislation approved the draft legislation which calls for barring the use of loudspeakers during the Adhan moving it to the Knesset where it is expected to go through several readings before making it into law.

Palestinian leaders and several Muslim countries have criticized the proposed law as an infringement on the freedom of worship.

Israeli Knesset decided Tuesday to postpone voting on Adhan ban bill which was scheduled to be held on Wednesday.

Israeli media sources said that the decision to postpone the voting came after Arab MK Ahmed al-Tibi threatened to turn to the Supreme Court.

Last week the Israeli Ministerial Committee on Legislation approved the draft legislation which calls for barring the use of loudspeakers during the Adhan moving it to the Knesset where it is expected to go through several readings before making it into law.

However Israeli Minister of Health Yaakov Litzman appealed the bill effectively postponing Knesset consideration of the draft legislation until further notice.

Litzman argued that the current phrasing of the bill would not only affect the use of loudspeakers for the Muslim call to prayer but also the use of sirens on Friday evenings to announce the Jewish holy day of Shabbat.
