Israeli Flag - National Symbol of the State of Israel #147638 (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 Star of David centered between them. Designed in the late 19th century and officially adopted upon Israel’s independence in 1948, it reflects Jewish heritage and modern statehood. The blue color evokes the traditional tekhelet dye used in ancient Jewish prayer shawls.
