An Israeli bill to restrict the adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, passed a preliminary reading in parliament on Wednesday.
Palestinians condemned the legislation as a "declaration of religious war" and an attack on freedom of worship.
The bill passed by 50 votes to 36 and must now be referred to a Knesset committee before returning for its first reading. It would then need to pass second and third readings before becoming law.
The legislation was introduced by Zvika Fogel, a lawmaker from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's party.
Under the proposal, mosques would be prohibited from installing or operating loudspeaker systems without a permit.
