Netanyahu: Israel Seeks to Follow European Standard on Mosque Loudspeakers
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday: "Today, the Ministerial Committee on Legislation will consider draft legislation on limiting the magnitude of noise from public address systems in houses of prayer in Israel. Muslims, as well as Jews and Christians, also suffer from this....Israel is a country that respects freedom of religion for all faiths. Israel is also committed to defending those who suffer from the loudness of the excessive noise of the announcements. This is how it is in many European cities and in many places in the Islamic world, where the loudness of the announcements is limited out of consideration for the populace as a whole."
