Lebanon in confusion as daylight savings dispute deepens divisions: Lebanon woke up in two time zones on Sunday amid an escalating dispute between political and religious authorities over a decision to extend winter time for a month.
It said it would turn clocks forward on Saturday night and other Christian organisations, parties and schools announced similar plans.
LBCI said in a statement that it would disobey Mikati's decision because it would have harmed its work, adding: “Lebanon is not an island”.Lebanon's national carrier Middle East Airlines said its clocks and other devices would stay in winter time but it would adjust its flight times to keep in line with international schedules.
A spokesperson for the premier's office said it did not have an immediate comment on the decision's reasoning or the resulting backlash.
