Israel Daylight Saving Time -- Proposed Changes [2013 and beyond]
The following is a translation of a news flash from a few minutes ago: The Minister of Interior, Gideon Saar, adopted the proposals of the committee he appointed last month to examine the daylight saving time regulations. Saar will publish a draft of a [new] law that will be brought before the government and the Knesset next month so that the new daylight saving time will start already this year and will continue for more than 200 days until the end of October. When details of the proposed draft law come to light, I will update the list. _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.

The draft proposal for the new Daylight Saving Time rule for Israel is: DST will start at 02:00 a.m. on the Friday before the last Sunday of March and will end at 02:00 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. This proposal still has to be put before the government and then the legislation must pass three readings in the Knesset. I will update the list as the legislation advances. _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel. Phone/Fax number: +972-2-5494521

The proposal will be tabled at today's Cabinet Meeting and is expected to be brought before the Knesset for First Reading tomorrow. In order for the proposal to become law, it needs to pass both Second and Third readings, but the government has indicated that it will be brought before the Knesset for the final readings prior to the Knesset's summer recess so that the changes will take effect in September thus extending the end date of the 2013 Daylight Saving Time.

The Knesset passed the amendments in the First Reading on Monday and the law is expected to pass the Second and Third (final) readings by the beginning of September thus affecting the end of the 2013 DST. For those who read Hebrew, the proposed law can be viewed at: ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/israel/announcements/2013+new.pdf Hence, I have attached the context diff to tzdata2013c/asia with the new regulations. I will update the list when the law is finalised or if there are any unexpected changes. _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.

Thanks, I've pushed this into the experimental version on github and plan to make it part of the next release.

I will update the list when the law is finalised or if there are any unexpected changes.
The proposed changes passed second and third (final) readings in the Knesset yesterday and are now law as outlined in the following article: http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=319157 The changes were already incorporated in release "tzdata2013d". The final wording of the law (in Hebrew) can be found at: ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/announcements/2013+law.pdf _____________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
