Wafa (Arabic: وفا, lit. 'trust', an acronym of Arabic: وكالة الأنباء الفلسطينية Wikalat al-Anba al-Filastiniya, lit. 'Palestinian News Agency'),[7] also referred to in English as the Palestine News Agency and the Palestinian News & Info Agency, is the official state-run news agency of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).[8] Before the formation of the PNA in 1994, Wafa was the official news agency of the Palestine Liberation Organization.[9]

Wafa, like the PNA's other media outlets, are considered to be aligned with Fatah.[10] The president of the PA appoints WAFA's head, and the organization is viewed an arm of the Palestinian government, rather than an independent agency that criticizes the Palestinian government.

Wafa provides daily news from Palestinian territories, Israel and the Middle East, and is available in English, Arabic, French and Hebrew.[11][12]
