Al-Quds (Ottoman period newspaper)

Al-Quds () was an Arabic language newspaper published in Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire from 1908 until 1914.

Al-Quds was the first privately owned Arabic-language Palestinian newspaper to have emerged following the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, which lifted press censorship in the empire. It was published by Jurji Habib Hanania (1864-1920), who wrote in an editorial in the first issue of the newspaper on 18 September 1908 that he had applied several times for the permit to publish a newspaper since 1899 without success.

The newspaper started with issues twice a week in four pages and printed in 1,500 copies. Among the authors of the published articles were Khalil al-Sakakini, Isaaf Nashashibi, and Shaykh Ali Rimawi. With the rule of Djemal Pasha, the governor of Syria, freedom of the press worsened and the newspaper was eventually discontinued.
