Lebanon's Time Zone Dilemma: Confusion and Reversals.

Lebanon's chaotic switch to daylight saving time (DST) is emblematic of the country's politics. The government delayed the change, resulting in a calendar nightmare, with state institutions staying on winter time, while church organisations and some schools and news outlets jumped an hour ahead. The decision was intended to benefit the country's Muslim majority, who are observing Ramadan, and is emblematic of Lebanon's sectarian politics. The country has been in political deadlock since its president resigned without a replacement in October, and a worsening financial crisis risks spiralling into hyperinflation.
