Flag of Israel - the state symbol of the State of Israel, was adopted at the legislative level on October 28, 1948, through five months after the proclamation of the independence of the state. The flag is a white rectangular panel with two horizontal blue stripes along the edges and a star of David in the center. Initially, the flag was designed for the Zionist movement in 1891.
