my 20-month-old son has been waking up regularly, ready to go at 5:00 am regardless what time he went to bed. I live in Isreal, and it is still dark outside at 5:00 these days. Is there anything I can do to change this??

I had the same issues and then figured out he actually had an ear infection

If you want it to stop happening your best bet would be to let your child cry it out for a few minutes or longer until they eventually fall back asleep, and their bodies learn the new time schedule for wake up. I did this with two toddlers there is seriously no other way.

What time is he going to bed at night? How long and what time is his nap?

I had it. It’s excruciatingly hard to get up with them. Sometimes letting the cry doesn’t work, they’re just ready to start their day then. And then they’re ready for a nap by 8am!!! I’ve found it only lasts a few weeks (4-6),and if one parent gets up at 5 and then gets back into bed around 6:30 if possible until 7:30 it’s possible to survive.

There's a study that shows that kids who wake up early need more stimulation during the day.
Try to have them use a lot of energy during the day, and tire them out towards supper time. Let them run around for a while (and even be hyper if it's safe...)
When their days are full of stimulation, they won't need to wake up early.
