The security minister of the Zionist regime of Israel, Itamar Ben-Gvir, proposed a new illegal bill that would prohibit the Adhan, the call to prayer in mosques. This move would violate the Palestinians’ freedom of worship and reinforce the apartheid system they suffer under Israeli occupation.

The representative of the occupying regime verbally attacked religion, referring to the rituals of the Palestinian population as “noise from mosques” and “unreasonable noise.”
The bill aims to prohibit religious services without “special” permits from the Zionist entity, which would base its decisions on the proximity of the temples to its illegal settlements in Palestinian territories.
Furthermore, Tel Aviv threatened to impose “fines” of 50,000 shekels (US$15,660) for the installation or operation of loudspeakers without a permit. Violating the “conditions of the permit” would result in a fine of 10,000 shekels (US$3,100).

Israeli attacks on prayer within the Palestinian religion are repeated. In 2017, the Tel Aviv regime also sought to prohibit the use of loudspeakers, a measure approved in its first reading by the Knesset but not enacted.
In 2024, Ben-Gvir ordered a ban on mosques broadcasting the call to prayer, arguing that it “disturbed” Israeli settlers, and also confiscated the loudspeakers.
