! # Due to imminent elections in 1999, there are no dates for the year 2000
! # and beyond.  There was a move to legislate the DST rules in Israel, but
! # due to the government's fall, it most likely won't be brought to the Knesset
! # for first reading before the elections and will probably be altered by the
! # newly elected government.
  
  # From Paul Eggert (1999-01-30):
! # Here are guesses for rules after 1999.
  # They are probably wrong, but they are more likely than no DST at all.
