Flag of Israel - National Symbol and Historical Significance #147637 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Israel consists of a white background with two horizontal blue stripes near the top and bottom edges, and a blue hexagram (Star of David) centered between them. Its design draws from the traditional Jewish prayer shawl (tallit) and was first used by Zionist organizations in the late 19th century before official adoption upon Israel’s independence in 1948. The colors blue and white symbolize purity, faith, and divine protection in Jewish tradition.
