==History and profile==
''Es-Sabah'' was founded and directed by Jacob Cohen. The first issue came out on 1 November 1904. It was the most popular Jewish newspaper in the country at one point. The issues contained between four and sixteen pages. Politically, it served as an organ for philanthropic Zionism.<ref name="br"/>

''Es-Sabah'' carried the byline ''Es-Sabah, seul quotidien israélite du Nord-Africain, le plus fort tirage des journaux israélites de Tunisie'' (<nowiki>"</nowiki>''Es-Sabah'', the only Jewish daily in North Africa, with the highest circulation of the Jewish papers in Tunisia").<ref name="br"/>

By the 1930s ''Es-Sabah'' was the last remaining Judeo-Arabic newspaper in the country. At the turn of the century, however, Tunisia had hosted a vivid Judeo-Arabic press.<ref name="af">Houtsma, M.
