Palestinian worshippers pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the first day of Eid al-Adha on November 6, 2011.

Avigdor Lieberman claimed that the controversial proposal was a "legitimate" one, adding that "there are similar precedents in the Western world," the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday.
The bill, proposed by Yisrael Beiteinu Party member Anastassia Michaeli, is believed to be the first attempt to impose a ban on calls to worship from mosques since the 1948 Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
