Deutsche Welle partnership suspension
In December 2021, Deutsche Welle said it would suspend its partnership with Roya TV after characterizing content published by Roya on social media as anti-Israel and antisemitic. Roya chief executive Fares Sayegh defended the network's right to criticize actions by the Israeli state and argued that such criticism should be distinguished from antisemitism.
