Issa Daoud al-Issa is among the foremost names in modern Palestinian press, linked to the newspaper Falastin published in Jaffa. In this guide he is mentioned among cultural figures connected with Palestine and Jerusalem as present in the press and educational field of that era, while avoiding attributing him to a city other than his own.
