487# 488# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of 489# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes. 490# Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However, 491# there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending 492# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition 493# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence, 494# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched

480# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days on daylight savings
481# time annually.

495# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings 496# time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time has 497# been from midnight Thursday night to 1 a.m. Friday morning and the change 498# back to standard time on Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time 499# to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the 500# change back to standard time takes place on Sunday night instead of Saturday 501# night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year. |

The new Minister 533# of Interior changed the dates on January 1, 1996, to take into account the 534# desires of certain portions of Israeli society (the next election is in the 535# Fall of 1996). After this (1996) year's Daylight Savings Time is over, the 536# new minister has announced that a study will be conducted as to the wishes of 537# the populace regarding the length of Daylight Savings Time and the Interior 538# Committee will meet to review the results of the study and make any necessary 539# changes to the 1997-1998 dates.
