The Israeli Flag - Stockfoto

The Israeli flag features a white background with two horizontal blue stripes near the top and bottom edges. In the center is a blue Star of David, a symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity. The design was inspired by the traditional Jewish prayer shawl, the **tallit**, which is typically white with blue stripes. Officially adopted in 1948, the flag reflects the cultural and religious heritage of the Jewish people and symbolizes the State of Israel's foundation as a homeland for Jews around the world.
