-# From Ephraim Silverberg (2003-03-23):
-#
-# Minister of Interior Poraz has announced that he will respect the law
-# passed in July 2000 (proposed at the time jointly by himself and
-# then-MK David Azulai [Shas]) fixing the dates for 2000-2004. Hence,
-# the dates for 2003 and 2004 remain unchanged....
-#
-# As far as 2005 and beyond, no dates have been set. However, the
-# minister has mentioned that he wishes to propose to move Israel's
-# timezone in 2005 from GMT+2 to GMT+3 and upon that have DST during
-# the summer months (i.e. GMT+4). However, no legislation in this
-# direction is expected until the latter part of 2004 which is a long
-# time off in terms of Israeli politics.
-
-# (2004-09-20):
-# The latest rumour, however, is that in 2005, when the clock changes to
-# Daylight Saving Time (date as yet unknown), the move will be a two-hour leap
-# forward (from UTC+0200 to UTC+0400) and then, in the fall, the clock will
-# move back only an hour to UTC+0300 thus effectively moving Israel's timezone
