Al-Quds (Arabic: القدس) was an Arabic language newspaper published in Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire from 1908 until 1914.[2]

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.[3] 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.[4]

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