Lebanon’s cabinet reverses decision to delay clock change

Al Jazeera, 28 Mar 2023
Lebanon’s cabinet has reversed a decision by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati to delay the start of daylight saving time after it triggered widespread anger and the country’s largest church refused to abide by it.
Clocks will now move forward an hour on Wednesday night, rather than at the end of the holy month of Ramadan in April.
“The new daylight saving time will start at midnight Wednesday,” Mikati said after a cabinet meeting.
