In Israel the topic of daylight saving time is subject to weird religious power struggles, and basically how long DST lasts depends on how much political power the ultra-religious parties have in the current parliament coalition (the more powerful they are, the less DST we get). This causes problems with automatic time zone shifts in phones, in cases where the OS doesn't get updated with this year's date range changes. Just this year some versions of Android had to set the time-zone to Athens for a few weeks.
