When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Colombia Time and Israel Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Israel Time is 8 hours ahead of Colombia Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–12 PM in Colombia Time (3 PM–8 PM in Israel Time) — suggest 9:00 AM Colombia Time (5:00 PM Israel Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Note: the working week in Israel runs Sunday–Thursday; Friday–Saturday is the weekend, so overlap on those days is limited.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
