Palestine News Agency (Wakalat al-AnbaD al-Filastiniya; WAFA is both an acronym and a word meaning "trust"), the official news outlet of the Palestine Liberation Organization, created in 1972 in Beirut. After 1982, following the expulsion of the Palestinians from Lebanon to Tunisia, its headquarters was in Tunis. On 20 July 1994, with the creation of the Palestinian Authority, the agency moved to the Gaza Strip.
