Muslims have reacted with anger following the comments made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling for a ban on the adhan, the Anadolu Agency reported last week.

During the weekly Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that his regime decided to enforce a number of laws including those which deal with “noise and incitement made in mosques”, referring to the adhan.

General Mufti of Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories, and preacher at Masjid Al-Aqsa, Sheikh Mohamed Hussein said this was a “warning to mosques”.

He stressed that the call to prayer is a “subtle supplication addressing the soul, not an incitement call that arouses the interference of the occupation in Muslims’ religious affairs.”

Members of the Arab List warned that the Israeli PM’s remarks “are repeated and dangerous attempts by Netanyahu to get political gains throughout cheap incitement against Arabs.”

Head of the Arab List MK Ahmad Tibi said: “Such remarks feed the atmosphere of racism.”

Aida Touma-Suleiman, another Arab MK, said: “The one who describes the prayer calls as a kind of racism is seeking to divert the eyes from the aggressive policy of the occupation and the ugly discrimination and racist soul being planted among the citizens against Arabs.”

“Netanyahu has to deal with issues as head of a government, not as an autocratic military ruler.”
