Introduction

Government organizations use two kinds of logo-on-bedsheet flags (the Post Authority flag being an exception):

Two more Israeli Government organisations' flags that I spotted lately, neither following the regular basic pattern:

The Antiquities Authority is responsible for all ancient sites in Israel. Its flag is blue with a white logo as can be seen in these photographs.

There was a programme on British television on 27 December 2005 called "Digging for Jesus", a look at the archaeological evidence for the places and events described in the New Testament. One of the places visited was Megiddo Prison, where the remains have been discovered of what appears to be a very early Christian church.
A photo of the excavation showed flags flying on separate poles. It seems that one nearest the camera is the flag of the Israel Antiquities which are rather different from the previous photos.

Yarqon River Authority (Reshut Nahal HaYarqon)

Yarqon River Authority, started to hoist water quality flags in order to indicate the local sailing clubs abote the pollution rate of the River.
The Yarqon River fountains are at Afeq, near Rosh HaAyin. From there, it flow westbound and its estuary is at the north part of Tel-Aviv. There are quite a few sailing clubs situated in its lower part.
The lack of adequate sewage in the area made it an easy way to get rid of drains and it became highly polluted with toxic materials.
The Yarqon River Authority was established in 1988 in order to clean and restore the river. Its upper part is already cleaned and restored, however its middle part is still polluted, and during rainy days, the pollution also reached the lower part.
According to an item at Yarqon River Authority web site from 5 May 2008, the authority started to hoist flags that indicate the rate of pollution at the lower part.
There are two possibilities:
Green flag – water quality suitable for sailing
Red flag – water quality is not suitable for sailing.

Ministry of Aliyah and Integration

  images located by William Garrison

Resembling the national flag of Israel, here is the diagonal-version flag of the Israel "Ministry of Aliyah and Integration" c. Feb. 2022. The official "emblem" of the State of Israel is a candelabrum (menorah). The logo design shows the menorah-emblem to the right of the stylized multi-colored "Star/shield of David". However, regarding the flag, the menorah-emblem is shown above the "Star/shield" (as can be clearly seen juxtaposed together in the bottom photo for joint comparison).
