NZST to IST-ISRAEL Converter

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in New Zealand Time and Israel Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Israel Time is 9 hours behind New Zealand Time.

With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:

• 4 PM–8 PM in New Zealand Time (7 AM–11 AM in Israel Time) — suggest 6:00 PM New Zealand Time (9:00 AM Israel Time).

This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.

New Zealand Time is also known as NZST, or NZDT. To call New Zealand, dial +64.

Israel Time is also known as IST, or IDT. To call Israel, dial +972.

Israel Time is approximately 10,100 miles west of New Zealand Time.

Both zones observe daylight saving time, but they transition on different dates.

New Zealand Time: next transition on Sunday, September 27, 2026.

Israel Time: next transition on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

New Zealand Time and Israel Time are in opposite hemispheres, so their clocks change in opposite directions about six months apart — one springs forward while the other falls back. The offset between them therefore shifts twice a year and can swing by up to two hours across the seasons, more than a typical same-hemisphere pair. Recurring meetings will need re-checking after each transition.

See the daylight saving time page for transition dates across every time zone.
