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 | 837 |
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 | 838 |
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. 783 784 785 | |

959# From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28): 960# ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone 961# was "blended" with the Central zone.
