Jordanian TV rejects German station’s anti-Israel accusation
Associated PressAMMAN, Jordan — A Jordanian broadcaster on Monday rejected accusations of publishing anti-Semitic content that led a German broadcaster to suspend a decade-long cooperation agreement. Amman-based Roya TV said in a statement that it “regrets the declared decision” of international German broadcaster Deutsche Welle to suspend the partnership. On Sunday, Deutsche Welle said anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic content and caricatures distributed by the popular Jordanian channel’s social media platforms were “definitely not consistent with the values of DW,” forcing the German company “to re-evaluate the cooperation.” “We are truly sorry that we did not notice these disgusting images,” said Guido Baumhauer, a senior executive with Deutsche Welle. The German public broadcaster’s partnership arrangements involve Deutsche Welle supplying journalistic content.
