Israel proposes permits for Muslim call to prayer, sparking backlash over religious freedom.
Israel’s far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is pushing legislation that would require government permits for the Muslim call to prayer (adhan) in areas under Israeli control, citing noise and quality of life concerns.
The proposed bill, introduced by Knesset member Zvika Fogel, would mandate permits based on volume, location, and impact on residents, with fines up to 50,000 shekels for unauthorized use and police authority to confiscate equipment.
Palestinian leaders and human rights advocates condemn the measure as an attack on religious freedom and cultural identity, calling it part of a broader effort to restrict Islamic practices.
The legislation builds on prior actions by Ben-Gvir to seize mosque loudspeakers and follows international scrutiny of Israel’s policies in the occupied territories.
