Quds News Network (Arabic: شبكة قدس الإخبارية, romanizedShabakat Quds al-Ikhbārīyah; QNN) is a Palestinian youth news agency founded in 2011. The agency is staffed with volunteer correspondents across Palestine.[1] The network gained widespread following on social media around 2015 through its fast distribution video coverage of escalations in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, which had made it as popular as Al Jazeera, appealing particularly to young Palestinians.[2]

QNN's website was blocked by the Palestinian Authority in 2019, as part of a crackdown on dissent.[3] Some of its pages were also blocked by some social media websites in 2019 and 2023.[4] The QNN states it is independent and funds itself through advertisements, and that it aims to expose the acts of the Israeli occupation.[5] Nevertheless, it has gained a reputation of being associated with militant groups,[5] and has been described as being affiliated with Hamas.[6][7][8]
