Flag of Israel - Official National Symbol and Design #1820589 (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. The design draws from traditional Jewish symbolism and was inspired by the flag of the Zionist movement; it was officially adopted on October 28, 1948, shortly after Israel’s declaration of independence. The blue color represents the traditional tekhelet dye used in ancient Jewish prayer shawls, while the star signifies Jewish identity and heritage.
