The country's caretaker premier predicted "all sorts of problems" before announcing a postponement of the switch to Daylight Saving Time. He was right.
The people of Lebanon woke up at the beginning of this week to find themselves torn between two time zones after the government made a last-minute decision to postpone the switch to Daylight Saving Time.
Lebanon's caretaker prime minister said the cabinet had voted to move clocks one hour ahead on Wednesday night, reversing his decision to postpone the move to daylight time by a month, which had sparked uproar across the country and led to people waking up in two time zones on Sunday.
