Historical overview edit

Decorations, medals and badges of Palestine were first awarded for both military and civilian service and contributions to the State of Palestine, in this order Article 117 in 2005.[1]

In the beginning of 2009, and in the frame of institutional and state building process towards the establishing of an independent Palestinian State, President Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine and Grand Master of the Orders, Decorations and Medals, entrusted Minister Majdi Khaldi, the Diplomatic Advisor to the President and Conseillere of the Orders, Decorations and Medals of the State of Palestine to lead the efforts of establishing the Palestinian awarding system, and put into act as soon as possible.[citation needed]

The Palestinian awarding system was gradually established in three stages, and three Presidential decrees were issued in 2013, 2016 and 2018 following extensive consultations and efforts led by Minister Khaldi, and after reviewing the previous Palestinian awards, and the history of the international awarding systems.[2]

Three relevant publications including the Orders, Decorations and Medals of the State of Palestine, the Palestinian State' symbols; the national anthem, the Palestinian flag and the emblem of Palestine, were issued and distributed to the Palestinian Embassies, governmental institutions, public libraries and accredited diplomatic corps in Palestine.[citation needed]

In the beginning of 2010, a number of senior awards were issued for Kings & Heads of States and Governments as they were the first aimed categories. In naming these awards, the names of Palestine, Jerusalem & Bethlehem were highlighted, which are: The Order of the Star of Palestine, the Order of Jerusalem, the Medal of the Star of Honor, and the Collar of Bethlehem. Many other Orders were issued for making diversity, and each level is to be awarded to different categories of Palestinian, Arab and international personalities.[citation needed]

The two most excellent Orders between 2009 and 2016 were the Star of Palestine (Grand Cordon), which was awarded to President Vladimir Putin,[3] President Giorgio Napolitano,[4] President François Hollande,[5] President Jacob Zuma, President Mahinda Rajapaksa[6][7] and the Grand Cordon of the Order of Jerusalem, which was awarded to the Emir of Kuwait Sabah Al-Sabah,[8] King Abdullah II,[9] and many other Heads of States and Governments from all over the world.[citation needed]

As of 2017, the newly established Grand Collar of the Order of the State of Palestine became the most excellent Order, and was awarded to King Salman,[10] King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa,[11] President Xi Jinping,[12] and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[13][14]

Between 1995 and 2004 President Yasser Arafat awarded medals and medallions to a large number of foreign and Palestinian personalities. The Collar of Bethlehem 2000 was awarded to a number of Heads of States and Governments who visited Bethlehem during the year 2000 celebrations, and also awarded about 100 medals and medallions to Palestinian and foreign personalities.[15]

It was also necessary to establish new awards for Palestinian figures and institutions from several fields: political, national, literary, artistic and scientific. Therefore, the Order of Merit and Distinction (Gold and Silver Levels) was established in 2010, and was later updated in 2016.[16]

The Order of Culture, Science and Arts was also issued and is intended to be awarded to Palestinian and foreign intellects, authors, writers, poets, scientists, researchers and artists in appreciation of their significant works which succeeded at the national level.[17]

The Palestinian Honorary Citizenship was also issued to be granted to esteemed Arab and foreign figures that have a special and strong relationship with Palestine. Martial Awards and Medals of civil and military services were also issued.[18]

In the beginning of 2013, after issuing the Resolution for upgrading Palestine's status to an Observer State in the United Nations, President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree including all civil and martial awards, medals and medallions which were issued previously. A new decree was issued in 2016, including new modifications in the Palestinian awards system, and in 2018, President Abbas issued a third decree that included all the new modifications.[citation needed] Two new Orders were also established bearing the names of the two Palestinian leaders, President Yasser Arafat and President Mahmoud Abbas.[citation needed]

It is a custom to grant awards in a special celebration to be held in the Palestinian Presidency, whether by the presence of the President who will grant the award himself, or delegating a deputy in case of being absent, delegating a special envoy, or to entrust the Ambassadors of Palestine to carry out this task in case the ceremony occurs abroad.[citation needed]
