[8][9] Al-Difa' was published five days per week during its initial period and later became a daily newspaper.

[4] Its issues published between 1934 and 1951 were archived in Al Aqsa Mosque library in Jerusalem.

[16] It was organized to make it possible for the newspapers to reinforce national solidarity and to provide correct information to their readers during the emerging Arab riot.

[16] Although Al-Difa was not affiliated with any party during the World War II period, it supported Amin al-Husseini and the Palestinians' struggle against the British rule opposing the Zionism.

[12] The paper encouraged the modernization of daily life among the Palestinian middle and upper classes.

[12] The circulation data given in the report by the Royal Peel Commission which had been formed to examine the Arab riots in the region in 1936 indicate that shortly after its start Al-Difa' reached the circulation level of the influential Falastin newspaper.

[15] One of the reasons for the higher circulation of the paper than Falastin was that the readers considered it as a "Muslim publication".

[16] On the other hand, both papers were read aloud publicly in various cities and settlements of the Mandatory Palestine showing that they had readers everywhere in the region.
