Israel has taken a controversial step by outlawing mosques' use of loudspeakers to broadcast the call to prayer. According to a channel 12 and India.com report, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir requested that the police outlaw the practice.

According to Gvir, Jews are disturbed by the Muslim community. According to the article, he indicated that the action has become necessary and instructed the police to take the loudspeakers and impose penalties.

While talking to Channel 12, he said that making such 'loud sounds' is unnecessary and it has turned into a 'menace' for the Israeli people.

The minister said a few Arab countries and Western nations are making rules over the call for prayer over loudspeakers. He said that no one pays heed to this, but now it cannot be continued.

However, a few Middle East countries have objected to the Israeli minister's directive. A leader of the United Arab List condemned the decision of Israel and alleged that it is an attempt of Israel to target mosques.

A few organisations of Human Rights also condemned the decision and termed it as disparity with the community people.
