Time-zone spread
Israel is modeled as a single-zone country on this page, so the main planning risk is not internal time spread but coordination with DST-observing countries elsewhere.

Reference-market overlap
Israel is outside shared business hours for the sampled reference markets right now, so meeting planning should start from the city compare or meeting-planner tools rather than a cold call.
Snapshot uses 8 reference market clocks against Asia/Jerusalem.

Use the city rows below for the next level of specificity; this country hub intentionally stays at national planning depth.

Israel (population ~9.9M, GDP ~USD 530B) observes Israel Standard / Daylight Time (Asia/Jerusalem, UTC+2 / UTC+3) under the 2013 Time Determination Law: DST starts on the Friday before the last Sunday in March and ends at 02:00 on the last Sunday of October. Until 2013, end-of-DST was tied to the Hebrew calendar (the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, 10 Tishri) - a religious-calendar linkage that remains a charged piece of Israeli timekeeping history. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) anchors a startup-nation economy that leads the world in R&D spending as a share of GDP, with defense and cybersecurity as flagship exports. Israel is a parliamentary republic with the 120-seat unicameral Knesset; Benjamin Netanyahu has led his sixth government since December 2022. Since the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023, Israel has been at war in Gaza, with Saudi normalisation talks paused and reservist call-ups weighing on tech productivity.

Reference fields include Israel: ISO code, canonical slug, timezone roster, indexed cities, airport rows, next holiday, currency/language hints, reference-market overlap, and country-specific planning text.
Country time hubs work best when they connect to the deeper city, airport, compare, and market route families.
