Note that although the wording of the law is not final, its intent is -- a free translation of the text would read:
Yesterday (March 1), the proposal passed second and third readings in the Knesset thus making it law making it the first permanent Daylight Saving Time law rule since the founding of the State of Israel. The following is a translation of the final wording of the law: Every year, between the last Friday before the second of April, at 02:00, and the last Sunday before the tenth of [the Hebrew calendar month of] Tishrei [i.e. the Jewish fast of Yom Kippur], at 02:00, the time in Israel will be made an additional hour earlier so that it will precede Coordinated Universal Time by three hours.
