 Subject:

A semi-transparent banner with the flag of Israel and Thailand merged into each other, with on the Israeli side some pomegranates (fig.), a fruit from Israel, known in Thai as thabthim, and on the Thai side some mangosteen, a typical Thai fruit which is locally known as mangkut. These fruits convey a message of good friendship, as they symbolize longevity, abundance and growth.
