Gaza and the West Bank did go back to standard time in the beginning of August, and will now enter daylight saving time again on 2011-08-30 00:00 (so two periods of DST in 2011). The pause was because of Ramadan.

According to the article in The Jerusalem Post: West Bank and the Gaza Strip will have different time zones. “…Earlier this month, the Palestinian government in the West Bank decided to move to standard time for 30 days, during Ramadan. The Palestinians in the Gaza Strip accepted the change and also moved their clocks one hour back. The Hamas government said on Saturday that it won’t observe summertime after the Muslim feast of Id al-Fitr, which begins on Tuesday…” Fatah-Hamas rift now ‘fixed in time’ http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=235650 or http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_gazastrip05.html Alexander Krivenyshev - World Time Zone http://www.worldtimezone.com
