The Palestinian flag was raised for the first time at UN headquarters on Wednesday, a symbol of Palestinian determination to live in a fully-independent state.
The UN Secretary General said that it also affirmed the “longstanding commitment” of the United Nations to support their aspirations.
The flag-raising was approved by the UN General Assembly earlier this month, despite the opposition of some countries.
