7pm Israel is 12:00 pm EDT
7pm IDT is 12:00 pm EDT in Eastern Time. EDT is 7 hours behind Israel today, and that gap changes during the year, so this is recomputed rather than assumed.
What time is 7pm Israel in EDT?
It is 12:00 pm. Eastern is 7 hours behind Israel, so you subtract 7 hours from 7:00 pm and the date does not change. 7pm is evening in Israel, dinner and the end of the working day, while 12:00 pm is noon in Eastern, the middle of the day and the usual lunch hour.
Spoken as military time, 7pm is 1900 hours and the result is 1200 hours. The military convention exists precisely because "3 o'clock" is ambiguous twice over: once on the 12 hour clock and once across zones.
7pm Israel to EDT in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 7pm, in case the meeting moves. The whole window stays on the same day in Eastern, so only the hour changes.

Is 7pm Israel a good time to call EDT?
It works for them, not obviously for you. 12:00 pm is a normal working hour in Eastern, but 7pm is evening in Israel, dinner and the end of the working day. Expect to be the one making the compromise.
Does daylight saving change 7pm Israel to EDT?
Yes. Sampled at 7pm on every day of 2026, the gap takes 2 different values. Today it is 7 hours, which is why the answer above is dated rather than fixed.
Israel Time is currently on IDT and changes next on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC+3 to UTC+2.
Eastern Time is currently on EDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-4 to UTC-5.
7pm EDT to Israel, the other way round
Running the question the other way is a different conversion, not a mirror image, because the two zones can be in different daylight saving states on the same date. 7pm EDT is 2:00 am Israel, the next day, which is a different reading from the answer above, because the two directions are separate questions. One wrinkle worth knowing: IST and IDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Israel Time reads IST in winter and IDT in summer. When somebody types "israel to est" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves ISRAEL to Asia/Jerusalem and EST to America/New_York and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
