How the clock change works in Palestinian Territory
Palestinian Territory adjusts its clocks for daylight saving time, so its UTC offset is not the same all year. In spring the clocks move forward one hour — an hour of the morning is skipped and evenings stay light for longer. In autumn they move back one hour, and that morning hour is repeated. The next change happens on Saturday, 24 October 2026, when the clocks fall back.
Because computers derive the offset from the IANA time zone database, the live clocks on this site follow the change automatically. The value worth planning around is the pair of transitions above: any recurring call, flight or deadline that lands near one of those dates shifts by an hour relative to countries that do not change their clocks, or that change on a different weekend.
