Haaretz reports.

It is very rare for the [Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council] to take a channel [
Shelanu] off the air, and it is the first time a Christian channel broadcast in Israel is being shut down. God TV was told by the council that it was welcome to submit a new license application that provided a more honest depiction of the nature of its programming....
“A channel that wishes to spread the gospel of Jesus among the Jewish nation sitting in Israel had never been broadcast on [Israeli cable television provider] Hot, and the heads of the channel knew that, as was clarified in the hearing we held,” [wrote Council Chairman Asher Biton]. Biton noted that Christian programming aimed at Jews is a “complicated and sensitive matter” and, therefore, the broadcasters should have been more upfront about the nature of the new channel....

The announcement came after a fundraising video surfaced in which God TV CEO Ward Simpson said: “God has supernaturally opened the door for us to take the gospel of Jesus into the homes and lives and hearts of his Jewish people.”

Overnight, the video message that had caused the storm was taken down and God TV issued a clarification: The network had no intention of trying to convert Jews to Christianity, Simpson said in a new video message; it merely wanted them to accept Jesus as their messiah....

The words in boldface may seem absurd, but I think they're the argument that the channel was not dishonest in the way it presented itself to the authorities. In Israel, it is "against the law to proselytize to individuals under age 18 without the consent of their parents."
