"Direct foreign investment in Israel totaled $2.1 billion in January-April 2005, and is expected to reach $6 billion by the end of the year, Investment Promotion Center director Rachel Roei reported today. Foreign investment totaled $6.1 billion in 2004, including $1.8 billion in direct investment. Investors are interested mainly in high-tech, communications, and information technology; life sciences; and homeland security. Following the rise in direct investment by foreign companies, the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Labor is formulating a plan for aid in expanding development centers and other tools for marketing Israel as a preferred investment target. The plan offers foreign investors aid for R&D centers, based on the new Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investment, and the reform in the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development Law (5744-1984). The amendment allows know-how developed with aid from the Office of the Chief Scientist to be exported in exchange for enlarge royalties.

Most of them are commercial flags but ... government organizations which adopted unofficial flags, municipalities and such. Naturally, there are plenty more around in the Independence Day period.
