The Palestinian flag was designed by Sharif Hussein during the Arab Revolt on June 1916 against the Othman rule. The Palestinian people also raised it as the flag of the Arab National movement in 1917. 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.
