Shared working hours
They do not overlap at all. A 09:00–17:00 working day in Israel Standard Time ends 2 hours before the Pacific Time one begins, so any live call sits outside somebody's working hours.
The shortest reach is the edges: early morning in Israel against late evening in PST, or the other way round.
When the difference changes
The two zones move their clocks on different dates, so the gap takes more than one value. These are the stretches of 2026:
| Dates | PST is | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 January – 8 March | 10 hours behind | — |
| 8 March – 27 March | 9 hours behind | Pacific Time clocks go forward one hour |
| 27 March – 25 October | 10 hours behind | Israel Standard Time clocks go forward one hour |
| 25 October – 1 November | 9 hours behind | Israel Standard Time clocks go back one hour |
| 1 November – 1 January | 10 hours behind | Pacific Time clocks go back one hour |
Dates are Israel Standard Time local dates for 2026. Transition dates move by a few days from year to year; the rule each country follows does not.
About Israel Standard Time
Israel runs at UTC+2, moving to UTC+3 as IDT for roughly seven months. Its transition dates are set nationally and do not line up with the EU ones, so its gap to Central Europe is not fixed even though the two are usually one hour apart.
Cities on this clock: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem.
Watch out: IST means three different things: Israel Standard Time (UTC+2), India Standard Time (UTC+5:30) and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1). This page is the Israeli one.
About Pacific Time
Pacific Time runs the length of the west coast, from British Columbia to the Mexican border. It sits at UTC−8 as PST for about four months of the year and at UTC−7 as PDT for the other eight, moving on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November — dates set by US federal law that the Canadian Pacific provinces follow so the border stays on one clock.
Cities on this clock: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Vancouver.
How the difference is worked out
The gap between Israel Standard Time and Pacific Time is not one number. The two zones change their clocks on different dates, so for part of the year the difference is 10 hours and for the rest it is something else — the table above lists each stretch of 2026 with the date it starts and which country's clocks moved.
With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — Pacific Time is 10 hours behind Israel Standard Time. That figure never changes; everything else on this page follows from it plus whichever clocks have moved.
Every figure here comes from the IANA time zone database via your browser's own Intl engine, using the zone ids Asia/Jerusalem and America/Los_Angeles. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
