+# The proposed law agreed upon by the Knesset Interior Committee on
+# 2005-02-14 is that, for 2005 and beyond, DST starts at 02:00 the
+# last Friday before April 2nd (i.e. the last Friday in March or April

+# I used Ephraim Silverberg's dst-israel.el program

+# along with Ed Reingold's cal-hebrew in GNU Emacs 21.4,
+# to generate the transitions in this list.
+# (I replaced "lastFri" with "Fri>=26" by hand.)

+# Rule	Zion	2005	max	-	Mar	Fri>=26	2:00	1:00	D
 #
-# The proposal still has to be passed by the Knesset (three readings) for
-# it to become law....
+# but older zic implementations (e.g., Solaris 8) do not support
+# "Fri>=26" to mean April 1 in years like 2005, so for now we list the
+# springtime transitions explicitly.
 
-# From Paul Eggert (2004-12-22):
-# For now, guess that the rules proposed on 2004-12-20 will be adopted.
-# This is quite possibly wrong, but it is more likely than no DST at all.
