Its launch was originally scheduled to take place on 29 November 2024 on the occasion of the international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The first stamp of this series was already issued on 7 October 2024 by Syria. Jordan and Qatar released their stamp on 28.November 2024. The other countries including Algeria, Morocco, Oman and Tunisia released their respective stamps on the expected date. A few other countries including Egypt, Iraq, Libya and Palestine were supposed to participate as well, but as of this writing nothing has been release.
