Flag of Israel - Official National Symbol and Design #1852367 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Israel consists of a white background flanked by two horizontal blue stripes near the top and bottom edges, with a blue hexagram (Star of David) centered in the middle. The colors blue and white are derived from the traditional Jewish prayer shawl (tallit), symbolizing purity, faith, and divine presence. Officially adopted on October 28, 1948, shortly after Israel’s declaration of independence, it serves as a powerful emblem of national unity and Jewish heritage.
