Israel is pleased
"The Middle East's two main satellite operators have dropped an Arabic-speaking Iranian television station, a decision described by the broadcaster on Wednesday as an attempt to stifle Iran's voice in the region. The Arabic-speaking al-Alam, based in Iran, said the decision Wednesday was politically motivated. Al-Alam has been critical of Arab governments." Al-Alam is been airing daily attacks on Saudi Arabia and hosting Saudi dissidents and critics. I have refused to be used by the channel for their agenda and said that I would criticize Saudi Arabia but would insist on attacking the Iranian government as well. They said: no, thanks.
