It was mentioned in the official minutes of yesterday's meeting: http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps/WebSite/ar/ViewDetails?ID=31728
24fm.PS is a news site for a local news agency, they took it verbatim from the minutes. I think we should keep the official sources as is.
Hanna.
Is there any announcement on that site? Should we consider this 24fm site as an official source?@HannaLooks like http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps is the official site for Palestine for those news.On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 11:40 AM, Hanna Kreitem <hannaq@gmail.com> wrote:Thank you, this means that the change will be at 1am, not midnight, this is the difference.

Thanks. The tz database already predicts that on Saturday, 2016-03-26, at 00:00
local time, Gaza and the West Bank will jump ahead by an hour. Google Translate
converts the above web resource (which is in Arabic) to "... will be daylight
saving in Palestine as of one o'clock on Saturday morning, 03/26/2016, to
provide the clock 60 minutes ahead". This matches tzdata if "as of one o'clock"
refers to the time after the transition, not the time before. Does this sound
good to you?
