Palestine

The flag of Palestine is a tricolor of three equal black, white, and green horizontal stripes from top to bottom overlaid by a red triangle issuing from the hoist. This flag is derived from the Pan-Arab colors and is used to represent the State of Palestine and the Palestinian people. It was first adopted on 28 May 1964 by the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
