Al-Quds (Template:Langx) is a Palestinian Arabic-language daily newspaper, based in Jerusalem. It is published in broadsheet format. It is the largest circulation daily newspaper in the Palestinian territories.[1] It was founded in 1967 as a merger of two publications: Al-Difa' (in Arabic الدفاع) and Al-Jihad (in Arabic الجهاد). The owner of the former Al-Jihad newspaper (which was founded in 1951), Mahmoud Abu-Zalaf, served as its first editor-in-chief until his death in 2005. It is currently edited by his son, Walid Abu-Zalaf.
Al-Quds is the most widely read Palestinian daily[2] and the most widely circualted newspaper in the West Bank.[3] In addition to paper circulation, the newspaper publishes its content online in PDF and HTML format. On 17 December 2008, the newspaper's website began publishing content in Persian.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Amidst the Fatah–Hamas conflict, Hamas banned Al-Quds in the Gaza Strip in 2008. As a step in the Fatah–Hamas reconciliation process, Hamas permitted its publication in the territory beginning in 2014.[3]
The paper operates an office in Washington, D.C., with bureau chief Said Arikat reporting on U.S. foreign policy, specifically as it related to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[4] In early 2023, the news website added a Hebrew and an English edition.[5]
In 2018, editor Walid Abu-Zalaf conducted an interview with Jared Kushner, then senior advisor to President Donald Trump.[6]
Controversies
In the edition of 30 November 1997, the newspaper claimed that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion publication was not a hoax.[7]
Editorial stance
Al-Quds went against the traditional Palestinian boycott of Israeli elections in east Jerusalem by publishing full-page ads and endorsing mayoral candidate Arcadi Gaydamak in 2008.[8]
