Time in the State of Palestine

The time zones in the State of 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 has observed DST for 62 years between 1940 and 2024. 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.

West Bank 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. This creates a one-hour difference for a few days for different groups of people living in the same geographic area.
