Flag of Palestine
The flag of Palestine has three equal horizontal stripes of black, white, and green overlaid by a red triangle issuing from the hoist.
Where it is
Palestine is grouped in Western Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 3 countries in this atlas: Israel, Egypt, Jordan. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Palestine has a recorded area of 6,220 square kilometres. Among the 17 countries assigned to Western Asia in this dataset, it ranks 16 by area, from largest to smallest. Lebanon is immediately above it in that ordering, at 10,452 km². Bahrain is immediately below it, at 765 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 5,413,596 people for Palestine in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 870 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Arabic. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currencies listed for this date are Israeli New Shekel (ILS) and Jordanian Dinar (JOD). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
