Palestinian News Agency, known as Wafa, was established in April 1972 following a decision by the Palestinian National Council to provide an independent media outlet that broadcasts Palestinian news from a local and global perspective. The agency serves as a crucial source for a variety of news, including politics, culture, sports, and significant events in Palestine and the Arab world. Wafa offers its stories in multiple languages, including Arabic, English, French, and Hebrew, ensuring broad accessibility.

Wafa has evolved from a simple daily Arabic news bulletin to a comprehensive news agency that also produces English and French updates, radio news coverage, and analysis of international media outlets. Over the years, it has gained significant respect and recognition among global and Arab news agencies, often serving as a vital voice during critical historical events. In its commitment to the Palestinian narrative, Wafa not only covers ongoing news but also engages in in-depth reporting and multimedia storytelling that encapsulates the Palestinian experience and concerns.
