They are called Keffiyehs.
The colors of the stitching in a keffiyeh are also vaguely associated with Palestinians’ political sympathies. The iconic “spider-web” black-and-white keffiyeh is often displayed symbolically by members of Arafat’s Fateh party (which more generally uses yellow as its party colour), although it has never been able to expropriate it as their exclusive symbolre called keffiyahs….thank you
