Time Zone
A time zone is an area which observes a uniform standard time for legal, Commerce, commercial and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between Country, countries and their Administrative division, subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time. Each time zone is defined by a standard offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The offsets range from UTC−12:00 to UTC+14:00, and are usually a whole number of hours, but a few zones are offset by an additional 30 or 45 minutes, such as in Indian Standard Time, India and Nepal Time, Nepal. Some areas in a time zone may use a different offset for part of the year, typically one hour ahead during spring (season), spring and summer, a practice known as daylight saving time (DST). List of UTC offsets In the table below, the locations that use daylight saving time (DST) are listed in their UTC offset when DST is ' ...

They are populated by Israeli citizens, almost exclusively of Israeli Jews, Jewish identity or ethnicity, and have been constructed on lands that Israel has militarily occupied since the Six-Day War in 1967. The international community considers International law and Israeli settlements, Israeli settlements to be illegal under international law, but Israel disputes this.

Israel Standard Time
Israel Standard Time (IST) ( ', ) is the standard time zone in Israel. It is two hours ahead of UTC ( UTC+02:00). Overview History At the beginning of the British Mandate, the time zone of the mandate area (present-day Israel and Jordan), was set to Cairo's time zone, which is two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.

In 1992, the Knesset replaced the British Mandate era ''Time Ordinance'' with the ''Law Determining the Time''.

The Laboratory of Frequency and Time in the NPL maintains atomic clocks which officially set Israeli time. Differences between other countries The offset from UTC is equivalent to Eastern European Time ( UTC+02:00), during most of the year. Beca ...
