At a Beirut cafe, a Reuters journalist heard one customer ask: 'Will you follow the Christian or Muslim clock starting tomorrow?'
BEIRUT – Lebanon woke up in two time zones on Sunday, March 26, amid an escalating dispute between political and religious authorities over a decision to extend winter time for a month.
Though no reason was given for the decision, it was seen as an attempt to score a win by Muslims, allowing those fasting during the holy month of Ramadan to break their fasts an hour earlier, at around 6 pm instead of 7 pm.influential Maronite church, the largest Christian church in the country, on Saturday, March 25, announced it would not abide by the decision, saying there had been no consultations or considerations of international standards.
Businesses and media organizations, including two of Lebanon’s main news channels LBCI and MTV, announced they too would enter daylight savings on Saturday night. Many said the potential chaos was emblematic of decades of failed governance by leaders that led Lebanon into a 2019 financial crisis the World Bank said was “orchestrated” by elites.During the meeting with Berri, Mikati was seen responding in the video clip that his request was not possible because it would cause “problems,” including to flight scheduling.
