Ben-Gvir wants to ban Mosque loudspeakers, citing precious “sleep”

It not only invites worship but carries profound spiritual significance, and is now the latest target of Israel’s discriminatory policies. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir complaining about the volume of the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) from mosques. "Enough!…
