This proposal was published by Filastin, the influential Palestinian newspaper based in Jaffa, on October 20, 1929, as one of two flag designs intended to spark national dialogue. It uses the standard Pan-Arab colors—black, green, white, and red—but introduces a distinctive golden-orange lozenge at the center. This element symbolizes the famous Jaffa orange, a cultural and economic icon of Palestine, emphasizing its agricultural heritage and local identity. The bold orange shape sets this design apart from others by combining national unity with a visual nod to Palestinian land and produce.
