Quds News Network (Arabic: شبكة قدس الإخبارية; 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]
