Palestinian flag raised for the first time above at UNESCO( UN agency)

The Palestinian flag has been raised for the first time above a UN agency, in a diplomatic victory won despite stiff resistance from the US and Israel.

 

President Mahmoud Abbas symbolically hoisted the flag at the Paris headquarters of UNESCO on Tuesday Dec 13,2011 as the agency's 195th member to celebrate the Palestinians' admission in October as a full member of the organisation.
