Azan is banned over loudspeakers in mosques in Israel. Defense Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has ordered police to confiscate speakers installed in mosques and fine them for making noise.
According to the Times of Israel, there have been complaints of loud noise coming from mosques in East Jerusalem and several other areas.
Those demanding a ban on the speaker say that its loud sound disturbs the morning sleep. Ben Giver told police commanders that he would soon introduce a bill that would increase fines on noisy mosques.
Voices of protest against this decision have started to be heard in Israel itself. Mayors of some cities said – We see this move by Ben Gvir as an incitement against Muslims, it may lead to riots.
Ben Gvir is counted among Israel's most radical leaders. He is often in the news for his controversial statements.
Ben Gwirre Accused the police of politicization The Abraham Initiative, an organization working to promote cooperation between Jews and Arabs in Israel, also opposed it. The organization said – this is an attempt to politicize the police. While criminals roam freely in the country, Ben Gvir is using the police as a political weapon.
At the same time, Mansour Abbas, head of the Arab Islamist Party Ra'am, appealed to the government to control Ben Gwir. They are inciting Muslims and forcing them to respond.
Islam's third holiest mosque is located in Jerusalem, where there are frequent reports of clashes between Muslims and the Israeli army.
Ben to Gwyr Proud of the decision to remove the Speaker Ben Guire told Channel 12 he was proud of the decision to remove loudspeakers from mosques. These speakers have become a threat to the citizens of Israel.
He said- Most western countries and some Arab countries also regulate noise and make many laws in this regard. Only in Israel is it ignored. Praying is a fundamental right, but not at the cost of one's life.
Saudi and Indonesia also reduced speaker volume Different countries of the world have different rules regarding the use of speakers during religious events. In the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France, loudspeakers are not used for the Azan.
A few years ago, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince (ruler) Mohammed bin Salman ordered all mosques to turn down loudspeakers during the call to prayer or other occasions. At the same time, loudspeakers were turned down in 70,000 mosques in Indonesia, a country with a large Muslim population.
On the decision to reduce the volume of speakers in Saudi, a minister said that the prayer time is fixed, there is no need to announce it loudly.
