Haredi minister spiked muezzin bill ‘because it didn’t include Knesset’

Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, who a day earlier torpedoed a bill aiming to clamp down on the call to prayer from mosques, says that he didn’t back the proposed law because “It didn’t include the Knesset. That’s where the loudest noise comes from.”

On Amona, “I came from the Knesset. Today we passed a regulation bill, maybe it’ll be a deregulation bill. I don’t know.”
