if the law passes, I will write a C programme that will output TZ times for Israel for any given year.

Thanks for following up on this. For Iran's DST rules, I used GNU Emacs's cal-persia (emacs/lisp/calendar/cal-persia.el), and perhaps you'll find it easier to use emacs/lisp/calendar/cal-hebrew.el instead of rolling your own calendrical code. I've found the Reingold code in GNU Emacs to be quite reliable in practice. He co-wrote the definitive book on calendrical calculations; see <http://emr.cs.uiuc.edu/home/reingold/calendar-book/second-edition/> and GNU Emacs is derived from that work.
