The Palestinian Flag

  

 

 

 

 
         

 

 
 

 

 

 



Mr. Sharif Hussein designed the current flag as the flag of the Arab Revolt on June 1916.

 

The Palestinian people raised it as the flag of the Arab National movement in 1917.

 

In 1947, the Arab Ba'ath Party interpreted the flag as a symbol of the liberation and unity of the Arab nation.

 

The Palestinian people readopted the flag at the Palestinian conference in Gaza in 1948.

 

The flag was recognized by the Arab League as the flag of the Palestinian people.

 

It was further endorsed by the PLO, the representative of the Palestinians, at the Palestinian conference in Jerusalem in 1964.
