The time zones in Palestine are Palestine Standard Time (PSST) (Arabic: توقيت فلسطين القياسي) (UTC+02:00) and Palestine Summer Time (PSDT) (Arabic: توقيت فلسطين الصيفي) (UTC+03:00). Palestine first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1940. Palestine observed DST for 63 years between 1940 and 2025. The previous time with no Daylight Saving Time was 1983. The Palestinian 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.
Israeli settlements
The Israeli settlements on the West Bank adhere to Israel Standard Time, which switches to Israel Summer Time on a different date than Palestine switches to Palestine Summer Time. This creates a one-hour difference for a few days for different groups of people living in the same geographic area.
