"Hadashot MeHa’aretz", the Hebrew edition of the regional British Army newspaper "The Palestine News", was the first Hebrew newspaper published in Palestine after the British occupation. The newspaper which editorially maintained a mild Zionist attitude was published weekly between April 1918 and April 1919. In June 1919, the first issue of the paper "Hasashot Ha'aretz", the civilian offshoot of "Hadashot Me'HaAretz", was published in Jerusalem. In December 1919 the word "Hadashot" was omitted and the title became "Ha'aretz", which continues to be published to this day.
