Flag of Israel that had been Flown at the Cyprus Internment Camp by the "Haganah" 28.11.48

Hand-made flag made of cloth with the blue stripes and Star-of-David sewn onto it. On one side, there are the strings that tied the flag to the pole.
This flag is testimony of the work of the members of the "Haganah" and the "Palmach" at the Cyprus Internment Camps, to which the British had sent 52,000 illegal immigrants during the years 1946-1948.
The Jewish Agency, the JOINT, the members of the movements, the various parties and the Palmach were responsible for the camps and their detainees. The members of the Palmach even trained thousands of people as fighters so they could join the army when they finally arrived in Israel.
When the Independence of the State of Israel was declared in May 1948, there were about 24,000 detainees in the Cyprus camps. At the beginning of July 1948, they started their way back to Israel. Two large ships, "Atzma'ut" and "Kibbutz Galuyot" brought more than 4,100 immigrants from Cyprus; however, so as not to assist Israel in its War of Independence, the British prohibited men aged 18-45 to return to Israel. Only in February 1949, the evacuation of the Cyprus Camps ended officially.
Attached is a certificate from the collector confirming that he had received the flag from the policeman who had testified that the flag had been flown during a ceremony at the Cyprus Internment Camp on 28.11.1948 and was then returned to Israel. The ceremony was most likely a ceremony to mark a year to the decision of the UN on the establishment of the State of Israel, on November 29 a year earlier.
