Yesterday, the Knesset Interior Committee passed a proposed (originally in March 2004) change to the Time Setting Law that would make the dates for DST from 2005 and beyond so that DST starts on the night _after_ the first night of the Passover holiday at midnight until midnight of the Saturday night _before_ the fast of Yom Kippur. Those who can read Hebrew can view the proposal at: ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/announcements/2005+.ps The proposal still has to be passed by the Knesset (three readings) for it to become law so I'm not sure if they should be incorporated in the global TZ database, but I'm attaching the diffs just in case. I have only calculated the dates for ten years (2005-2014), but if the law passes, I will write a C programme that will output TZ times for Israel for any given year. I will inform the list if and when the law passes the legislative process and if any amendments are made on the way. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ephraim Silverberg, CSE System Group, Phone number: 972-2-6585521 Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
