About us

Hona Al Quds English is committed to report on events and issues from Jerusalem targeted towards an international audience. Through feature stories it gives an insight into the daily lives of the Palestinian community in Jerusalem, which is currently underrepresented in the international media coverage.

Hona Al Quds English is the sister website of Hona Al Quds Arabic (www.honaalquds.net). Both websites are politically independent and administered by the Institute of Modern Media, Al Quds University.

Vision

The aim of Hona Al Quds English is to present the daily lives of Palestinian Jerusalemites. We cover Human Interest stories related to current political developments from the perspective of the community in East Jerusalem in particular and the West Bank and Gaza in addition. In doing so, we want to allow an international audience to grasp this reality.

We also aim to bring international attention to the unique situation of the Palestinian population in Jerusalem.
