750# From Ephraim Silverberg (2003-03-23):
751#
752# Minister of Interior Poraz has announced that he will respect the law
753# passed in July 2000 (proposed at the time jointly by himself and
754# then-MK David Azulai [Shas]) fixing the dates for 2000-2004. Hence,
755# the dates for 2003 and 2004 remain unchanged....
756#
757# As far as 2005 and beyond, no dates have been set. However, the
758# minister has mentioned that he wishes to propose to move Israel's
759# timezone in 2005 from GMT+2 to GMT+3 and upon that have DST during
760# the summer months (i.e. GMT+4). However, no legislation in this
761# direction is expected until the latter part of 2004 which is a long
762# time off in terms of Israeli politics.
763
764# (2004-09-20):
765# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
766# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
767# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
768# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
769# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300. However, no actual draft has been put before the
770# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this
771# month [2004-09].
772
773# (2004-09-26):
774# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee
775# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's
776# Cabinet meeting. The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at
777# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from
778# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle
779# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew
780# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST). However, this is only a
781# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been

750# From Ephraim Silverberg (2003-03-23):
751#
752# Minister of Interior Poraz has announced that he will respect the law
753# passed in July 2000 (proposed at the time jointly by himself and
754# then-MK David Azulai [Shas]) fixing the dates for 2000-2004. Hence,
755# the dates for 2003 and 2004 remain unchanged....
756#
757# As far as 2005 and beyond, no dates have been set. However, the
758# minister has mentioned that he wishes to propose to move Israel's
759# timezone in 2005 from GMT+2 to GMT+3 and upon that have DST during
760# the summer months (i.e. GMT+4). However, no legislation in this
761# direction is expected until the latter part of 2004 which is a long
762# time off in terms of Israeli politics.
763
764# (2004-09-20):
765# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
766# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
767# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
768# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
769# from UTC+0200 to UTC+0300. However, no actual draft has been put before the
770# Knesset (Israel's Parliament) though the intention is to do so this
771# month [2004-09].
772
773# (2004-09-26):
774# Even though the draft law for the above did pass the Ministerial Committee
775# for Legislative Matters three months ago, it was voted down in today's
776# Cabinet meeting. The current suggestion is to keep the current timezone at
777# UTC+0200 but have an extended period of Daylight Saving Time (UTC+0300) from
778# the beginning of Passover holiday in the spring to after the Tabernacle
779# holiday in the fall (i.e. the dates of which are governed by the Hebrew
780# calendar but this means at least 184 days of DST). However, this is only a
781# suggestion that was raised in today's cabinet meeting and has not yet been
782# drafted.

882# stayed in sync with Moscow after 1990, and that Aqtobe (formerly Aktyubinsk)

888# German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses

891# Also go with the following claims of Shanks:
892#
893# - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
