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:

White logo on a blue field. The flag is 2:3 with the emblem
about a third of the flag length, situated in the upper part of
the flag, making space for the inscription below. Image of the logo
here at the Israel Antiquities Authority website.

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, 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.

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). (Source: https://www.haaretz.com)
