Daylight savings time dispute puts Lebanon in two timezones
Quick Glance: The debate over daylight saving time has left Lebanon with two time zones.
  • On Sunday, the Lebanese government made a last-minute decision to postpone the start of daylight saving time by a month, until the end of Ramadan.

  • Many businesses were caught off guard by the decision and decided not to follow the government's lead and advanced their clocks by an hour.

  • The Lebanese Maronite Church has also defied the government by declaring that it will switch to summer time.

  • Who decided what time zone we're in?
