                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I, Dov Lautman, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 20-F/A of Delta Galil Industries
Ltd.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of,
and for, the periods presented in this report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the company and have:

        a.      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
                disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
                supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
                company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
                to us by others within those entities, particularly during the
                period in which this report is being prepared;

        b.      evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls
                and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
                about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
                procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report
                based on such evaluation; and

        c.      disclosed in this report any change in the company's internal
                control over financial reporting that occurred during the period
                covered by the annual report that has materially affected, or is
                reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal
                control over financial reporting; and

5. The company's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
company's auditors and the audit committee of company's board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent function):

        a.      all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
                design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
                which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the company's
                ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data;
                and

        b.      any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
                other employees who have a significant role in the company's
                internal control over financial reporting.
