Introduction
The current flag of Syria has three equal horizontal bands of green, white and black, with three red five-pointed stars across the white band. It replaced the red-white-black flag with two green stars following the change of government in December 2024.
Meaning & Symbolism
The design is associated with Syrian independence and was also used by the opposition. The Syrian Ministry of Culture relates the colors to Arab historical traditions and the stars to regional and revolutionary symbolism. These interpretations should be distinguished from the flag’s physical specifications.
History of the Syria Flag
The green-white-black, three-star design has historical roots in Syria’s independence flag. Its current status was set out in the Constitutional Declaration of 13 March 2025. The United Nations raised the new flag at its headquarters on 25 April 2025.
The former red-white-black flag with two green stars belongs to the previous government’s period. It is retained here only as a historical reference image.
