I have obtained the text of the proposed amendment from the
Knesset's Interior Ministry Committee.

The proposed DST law amendment translates as follows:

(a) Every year, in the period from the Friday before the
     last Sunday in the month of March at 02:00, until the
     first Sunday after October 1 at 02:00, the time in
     Israel will be made an extra hour earlier so that it
     will precede Coordinated Universal Time by three hours.

(b) In spite of the directive in subsection (a), should
     the first Sunday after October 1 fall during Rosh
     Hashana, the period defined in subsection (a) will
     be extended until the first Monday after October 1
     at 02:00.

The Hebrew text of the proposed amendment can be found at:

     ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/pub/tz/announcements/2012+draft.pdf

The amendment has not been brought yet before the Knesset so
it is not yet law.  In any case, DST will end in 2011 on Sunday,
October 2 at 02:00 a.m. both by the proposed rule and by the
current rule so the first change in date would only be in March 2012.

If and when the amendment is adopted into law, I will inform the list.

Meanwhile, I have attached the context diffs to tzdata2011j/asia
for the new rules should the law be adopted.
