Flag of Palestine
Date Flag first adopted: 18th October, 1948
Description: The flag is constituted of three equal horizontal stripes (black, white and green from top to
bottom) overlaid by a red isosceles right triangle issuing from the hoist. The flag is almost identical to that
of the Baath Party and very similar to the flags of Western Sahara, Sudan and Jordan; all of these draw their
ultimate inspiration from the flag of the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule (1916-1918), which had the same
graphic form, but the colours were arranged differently than in the modern flags (white on the bottom rather
than in the middle).
