Meanwhile, images of watermelons have recently circulated widely on social media since the renewed Palestine-Israel conflict.

The fruit, with its combination of red, green, white, and black colors, is perceived as similar to the Palestinian flag and is used as a symbol of support for them.

"Raising the red, green, white, and black Palestinian flag has historically been banned in Israel and provoked the ire of authorities. So the watermelon—widely grown in Palestine and bearing similar colors—has been used for decades as Palestinian iconography symbolizing subversion," said Miriam Berger, a Middle East correspondent at *The Washington Post* (July 9, 2021).
