The executive summary:
asia Palestine suspends DST during Ramadan in 2011; Gaza and Hebron split in 2011, leading to a new Asia/Hebron zone
I am not convinced that the proposed change adequately reflects the fact that Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron _started_ DST on different dates in 2011. Gaza commenced DST on Sat 2nd April, whilst Hebron commenced DST a day earlier, on Fri 1st April (on the same date as Asia/Jerusalem, although at a different time).
