Israeli ministerial committee for legislation will again bring to discussion the bill that bans the Adhan (call for prayer) via loud speakers from mosques. The law will be voted on in the Knesset by the first hearing.
Accelerating the legislation of the law was made upon request of the Israeli government as a kind of retaliation of the Arab MKs who boycotted the speech of the US Vice President Mike Pence. They raised photos of Occupied Jerusalem al-Aqsa Mosque and al-Qiama church in the Knesset.
The parliamentary constitution committee is going to hold next Wednesday the first session to discuss the draft law and present it before the Knesset for voting.
The Adhan ban bill seeks to impose limits on the Muslim call to prayer within the Green Line and Occupied Jerusalem. It prevents the use of loudspeakers by mosques in the night and dawn hours.
