Flag of Israel - National Symbol and Historical Significance #3627958 (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-known as the Star of David-centered between them. The design draws from the traditional tallit (Jewish prayer shawl) and symbolizes Jewish identity, sovereignty, and continuity. Officially adopted on October 28, 1948, shortly after Israel’s declaration of independence, it remains a powerful emblem of the nation’s heritage and modern statehood.
