{{use dmy dates}} {{use British English}} [[File:Flag of Palestine.svg|thumb|250px|Flag of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]]] The '''flag of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]''' ({{lang-ar|علم فلسطين}}) is a [[horizontal]] [[tricolour]] of [[black]], [[white]], and [[green]]; with a [[red]] [[triangle]] based at the hoist.<ref>{{Cite web|date=|title=Flag Of Palestine: Exploring The Rich Heritage|url=https://www.rjtravelagency.com/flag-of-palestine/|access-date=|language=en-US}}</ref> ==Origin== At the time of [[World War I]], various Arab [[Tribe|tribes]] in the region united together to fight against the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] who had been ruling various land in area for centuries, the event today is known as [[Arab Revolt]]. One of the main motive of this revolt was that the [[Arab people|Arabs]] wanted to have their own country, led by Arab leaders. During this time, a leader named [[Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz|Hussein bin Ali]], who was Sherif''(in charge)'' of [[Mecca]], made a special flag for this [[rebellion]]. This flag was meant to show that they were united and fighting for their own country. It had three stripes, one black, one white, and one green, just like the modern Palestinian Flag although the order of stripes are now changed. This flag became a symbol of their struggle for freedom. A modified version (changing the order of stripes) of this flag has been used in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] at least since the late 1930s and was officially adopted as the flag of the [[Palestinian people]] by the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO) in 1964. At its first meeting on May 28, 1964, the [[Palestinian National Council]] drew up its National Charter, and its Article 27 stated that [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] would have a flag, an [[oath]], and an [[anthem]], and its colors were specified in order as follows: green, white, then black with a red triangle. On November 15, 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization adopted the flag as the flag of the Palestinian state.<ref>{
