Palestine

About the flag

Correct—this is the flag of Palestine. It uses the Pan-Arab colors tied to the 1916 Arab Revolt and was adopted by the PLO in 1964, later by the State of Palestine. The colors are often linked to historic Arab dynasties (Abbasid, Umayyad, Fatimid) and the Hashemites, representing shared heritage and Palestinian nationalism. Memory tip: It closely resembles Jordan’s flag but has no white star. Afghanistan’s flag traditionally has vertical stripes and a central emblem, while Thailand is only red-white-blue and Cambodia features Angkor Wat.
