What is the significance of Palestinian Independence Day on November 15?
November 15 is observed as Palestine’s Independence Day. In 1988, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) chairman Yasser Arafat declared independence for Palestine, recognizing the state’s sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This move aimed to establish Palestine as a sovereign state, acknowledging the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people.
This is an important day as it marks the Palestinian people’s aspirations for statehood and self-governance, recognizes Palestine’s rich cultural heritage and national identity, and symbolizes resistance against Israeli occupation and ongoing struggles for freedom.
