al-Quds al-Arabi (Arabic: القدس العربي, romanized: al-Quds al-ʿArabī, lit. 'Arab Jerusalem') is an independent pan-Arab daily newspaper, published in London since 1989 and owned by Palestinian expatriates. According to news reports in 2013, it is now owned by Qatar media interests, through intermediaries.[3][better source needed] The paper's motto is يومية سياسية مستقلة, "daily, political, independent".[4] Its circulation is estimated to be somewhere between 15,000 and 50,000. From the start until his resignation in July 2013, its editor-in-chief was Abdel Bari Atwan, who was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip in 1950.[5] After his resignation in July 2013, Atwan was followed by Sana Aloul, a London-based Palestinian journalist.
The paper publishes many Arab writers. It positions itself as an objective newspaper, covering the latest news and events. Al-Quds Al-Arabi states that its "correspondents and writers are biased toward people’s and human rights issues, including women's, children's and refugees' rights. It rejects sectarianism, violence and discrimination". It exposes corruption, violations, racism and practices of oppressive regimes. It advocates for the rights of the Palestinian people and opposes the sanctioned policies of the Israeli occupation. As indicated by its motto, the paper stresses this distinction by emphasizing its independent ownership and viewpoint relative to the other pan-Arab dailies.
