Current Flag

A new interim constitution of Syria was adopted on 13 March 2025: https://www.aymennaltamimi.com/p/the-constitutional-declaration-of
https://constitutionnet.org/sites

Its Article 6 defines the new national flag of Syria:

"Article 6:
The Syrian flag is as follows:
The flag takes the form of a rectangle whose length is two thirds of its width.
It includes three rectangles, the top being green, the middle white, and the bottom black.
In the middle of the flag- the white part- are three red stars.”

[Its translation is probably wrong, it must be read as width is two thirds of its length.]

Based on images of the new national flag, the stars on the white stripe are smaller than they were previously used, their height is approximately half the height of the white stripe.

Looking at the new Syrian flag that was raised at the UN by Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani during a flag raising ceremony at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on April 25, 2025, the stars appear to be much larger than what Zoltan noted.
