A conjoined Palestine-Lebanon flag with the Arabic slogan: "We Are All With the Resistance" as seen in an Egyptian "Lawyer's Union" demonstration against Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon in 2006 and against U.S. support for Israel, in Cairo, Egypt; c. 5 August 2006. This "resistance" flag was touted to show Arab solidarity against Israel's then on-going July 2006 military activity in Lebanon and Israel's continued encasement of the Gaza Strip, even though Israel had evacuated all Israeli settlements from Gaza during September 2005. The apparent two-flag joint "resistance" association was that as Israel had evacuated ("been forced out of") Gaza, so Israel would soon be expelled from southern Lebanon (and the Arabs' hope: from Palestine, too). The flags were apparently distributed in Cairo by the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.

A flag of Palestine with on its white middle stripe the black-letter Arabic
slogan of "sawf nusaily fi alquds" or "We will pray in Jerusalem". As seen near
the city of Maroun Al-Ras in southeastern Lebanon near the Israeli border; c.
Feb. 2020. The implication here means that although Jerusalem is currently in
Israel, this Palestinian flag promotes their dream of re-accessing some part of
Jerusalem (if not all) for inclusion into some future Palestinian state. Muslims
may pray today in Jerusalem (al-Quds) such as atop the Haram al-Sharif (Temple
Mount), but the city is not currently under Islamic control.
