The keffiyeh is a widely recognised symbol of Palestinian Arab nationalism. While it has been worn across the Middle East for centuries, this distinctive type of scarf has become increasingly identified with Palestinians after being popularised by Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) leader, Yasser Arafat. The style of keffiyeh that Arafat wore was typically a black and white design with a black fishnet pattern on a white background.
