For DST in 1957-62, I have looked through the gazettes from 1957 to 1961 but could not find any laws or notices related to DST. Also, the Local Time Ordinance (Cap 2, 1960 Revised Edition) <https://books.google.com/books?id=B-U-AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA18> does not contain any provisions related to DST.

For Asia/Gaza, the TZ string is TZ='EET-2EEST,M3.4.4/48,M10.4.4/49', where the "48" and "49" rely on the extension specified in Internet RFC 8536 section 3.3.1 and scheduled to appear in a future POSIX release. If Evgheni's library doesn't support that extension then that's the problem.
