A Keffiyeh, also known as a shemagh or hattah, is a traditional square cotton scarf worn by individuals in the Middle East, typically draped over their heads. Available in various colors and patterns, each keffiyeh signifies a specific country or region. The iconic black and white keffiyeh with a comb and wing-shaped pattern is particularly associated with Palestine, serving as a symbol of unity and solidarity among the Palestinian people.

Jumping back to the 1936 Arab Revolt in Palestine, the British Mandate posed a threat to the lives and homes of native Palestinians, sparking widespread unrest. To evade arrest, Palestinian supporters utilized the keffiyeh to conceal their identities, wrapping it over their heads and faces. In response, British authorities banned the keffiyeh. However, this prohibition unexpectedly prompted all Palestinians to wear the keffiyeh in a concealing manner, making it nearly impossible to identify individuals. This marked the moment when the keffiyeh transformed into a powerful symbol of unity and solidarity for Palestinians. The symbolism of the keffiyeh only deepened as more conflicts unfolded over the years. Palestinian President Yassir Arafat further solidified the meaning of the keffiyeh by consistently wearing it in public.
