Flag of Israel - Official National Symbol and Design #3461953 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Israel consists of a white rectangular field with two horizontal stripes of blue at the top and bottom, and a blue hexagram (Star of David) in the center. Adopted on October 28, 1948, shortly after Israel’s declaration of independence, it draws inspiration from the traditional Jewish prayer shawl (tallit), symbolizing Jewish identity and sovereignty. The colors blue and white reflect those used in ancient Jewish textiles and religious garments.
