Israeli state radio privileged Yiddish while suppressing Arabic-language programming for Jews

Evidence

There was no controversy about Kol Yisrael’s Persianand Turkish-language broadcasts on the overseas service, and there was some immigrant broadcasting in Turkish, though none in Persian. Thus the paucity of Arabic-language programming for Jews both overseas and within Israel is especially intriguing and suggests a profound discomfort with propinquity between the Arabic language and the new Israelis who spoke it. … In Kol Yisrael, as in early Israeli culture as a whole, Yiddish may indeed have been disparaged in theory, but it was privileged in practice. It was deemed suitable to be a vehicle of nationalization, a vessel through which the Hebrew language and Zionist ideology could be instilled into the new immigrants from the north. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 699

• QUESTION: Why was there no Persian broadcasting for Jewish immigrants from Iran, but some Turkish? Worth pursuing the specifics.
