Rashid Khalidi[edit]

Rashid Khalidi himself denies to ever work for Wafa, see discussion at Talk:Rashid Khalidi. The information is removed from his article per BLP concerns. I think it is inappropriate to inser this info to Wafa or any other article untill some consensus is formed on Rashid Khalidi Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

is WAFA more controlled by the West Bank de facto government or the Gaza Strip de facto government?[edit]

A rather relevant fact in the present context would be whether Wafa is presently "controlled" (in the sense that the BBC is controlled by the British government, etc.) by the PNA or rather by the de facto Gaza Strip government. Or is it independent enough that it's something of a mix with governmental control only happening by the choice of various senior leaders, etc. ? Any reliable sources on this?

Official new agency[edit]

RS news sources overwhelming describe WAFA as the "official Palestinian news agency" Reuters, Al Jazeera, ABC News, New York Times, PBS, and of course, WAFA itself
Academic sources refer to WAFA as the Palestinian state news agency as well: [1] [2] [3]
