I saw today in the news a car flag for the car of Ariel
Sharon, the Israeli minister of foreign affairs on visit. This
car flag was the Israeli flag but in a
square form. Does this flag exist and was this an official flag?
Pascal Vagnat, 7 January 1999
Israeli VIP cars usually do not carry flags, with one
exception of the President car during official ride which carry
the President flag. During official
visits, the cars carry the Israeli flag. Since Israeli
Authorities do not keep always the flag's official size (8:11),
you can see a variation of sizes. It is common to see Israeli
flags in 2:3 or 3:5 proportions, even though it is the first time
that I hear about 1:1. Those sizes are not official. The only
official size is 8:11.

"The car flag of the Israeli prime minister is the
national flag with a golden fringe." Source: Time

This is not the rank flag but the usual
Israeli car flag used on VIP's cars during official appearances
(Israeli prime minister, ministers, visiting heads of state
etc.).
