▉▉▉▉ Standard time observed all year
▉ Daylight saving time observed
Time in the State of Palestine is two hours ahead of UTC (UTC+02:00).[1]
During summer, it observes DST, one hour ahead of the standard time (UTC+03:00).
Palestine first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1940. Palestine has observed DST for 62 years between 1940 and 2024. The previous time with no Daylight Saving Time was 1983.
The Palestine Government announces the dates for the start and end of summer time. In 2020, they announced the end of summer time on 19 October, only 5 days before the change.[2]
West Bank settlements[edit]
The Israeli settlements on the West Bank adhere to Israel Standard Time, which switches to Israel Summer Time on a different date than Palestine. This creates a one-hour difference for a few days for different groups of people living in the same geographic area.[3]
