After Arab MKs helped the coalition pass the Basic Law: Torah Study in a preliminary vote, the muezzin bill — which would restrict mosque call-to-prayer broadcasts — has been placed on the Knesset agenda. Journalist Daphna Liel (N12) reports that Yisrael Beytenu intends to support it.
Journalist Daphna Liel (N12) reports that the muezzin bill — legislation to restrict the volume and timing of mosque call-to-prayer broadcasts — has been placed on the Knesset agenda, with Yisrael Beytenu expected to vote in favor. The development follows the Basic Law: Torah Study's passage through a preliminary plenum vote, during which Arab MKs voted with the coalition. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 10), commentator Daniel Amram alleged that a deal was struck between Arab parties and Haredi factions to secure Arab support for the Torah Study bill in exchange for blocking the muezzin legislation. The current agenda placement and Yisrael Beytenu's stated position suggest that the coalition may now have sufficient votes to advance the bill, though it remains unclear whether the muezzin law will reach a vote before the Knesset recess.
