International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People History

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People seeks to promote Palestinian Rights. The United Nations promotes the development of education, culture, sciences and freedom of expression on this day for Palestine. In 1947, United Nations Resolution 181 was passed which separated Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. The resolution was seen as the legal basis for establishing Israel. It was met with rejection and violence by many in the Arab Community.

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People was established in 1977 by the UN General Assembly. It is observed annually on November 29th.
