Since the change of government in December 2024, Syria has a new flag.
The current and new flag of Syria is the green, white and black tricolour with three red stars in the middle stripe.
Syrian Flag History
The first official Syrian flag design was first adopted in 1958 when Syria gained independence from European rule, and had decided to form the United Arab Republic with Egypt.
The two stars in the flag design were added to represent Syria and Egypt.
After this, there were 3 further changes to the Syria flag between 1961 and 1980.
In 1961, Syria broke from the union with Egypt and during this time had two different flags to represent the political policies during that time.
In 1980, Syria then adopted its new flag which is the Syria flag that has red, white and black with two stars flag.
Syria readopted the flag of the United Arab Republic on March 29th 1980 as its own national symbol and national flag.
In December 2024, the Assad regime was replaced by the current government, who adopted a new and current flag of Syria.
By 2025, the new Syrian authorities were using the new flag design officially, and it was raised in the United Nations in April 2025.
Syrian Flag Meaning (2025 version)
Many flags or almost all of the flags in the Middle East region consist of the same three colours, representing Arab liberation and unity.
The Syria flag also uses these colours: Green, White, and Black. In the middle, there are three red stars, described as symbols of the Syrian people.
Syrian Flag Usage
When travelling in Syria you will see the Syria flag in use through a lot of government-controlled pasts of Syria.
You may still find the older version of the flag in places such as walls or doors, but these are disappearing quickly, as this old Syrian style flag is often associated with the past (the Assad era).
