Hi, The Palestinian cabinet decree is in Arabic and there is no english version, also the pdf is image based thus it is hard to extract text and verify it on Google translate, The following links are for Palestinian news sites (in Arabic) indicating Oct 29th 2016 at 01:00AM as the end of summer time, I hope this helps in verification. http://felesteen.ps/details/news/173675/%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A... http://www.pal24.net/news/90179.html http://palweather.ps/ar/node/31792.html BR Sharef Mustafa On Wed, Oct 19, 2016 at 12:38 PM, Sharef Mustafa <sharefm@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
Regarding Palestine end of summer time (Asia/Gaza + Asia/Hebron), the current tz database shows that summer time will end on Oct 20th 2016,
sharef@plug.ps:/usr/share/zoneinfo$ zdump -v Asia/Gaza | grep 2016 Asia/Gaza Fri Mar 25 22:59:59 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 00:59:59 2016 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200 Asia/Gaza Fri Mar 25 23:00:00 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 02:00:00 2016 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Gaza Thu Oct 20 20:59:59 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:59:59 2016 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Gaza Thu Oct 20 21:00:00 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:00:00 2016 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
also for westbank Hebron
sharef@plug.ps:/usr/share/zoneinfo$ zdump -v Asia/Hebron | grep 2016 Asia/Hebron Fri Mar 25 22:59:59 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 00:59:59 2016 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200 Asia/Hebron Fri Mar 25 23:00:00 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 02:00:00 2016 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Hebron Thu Oct 20 20:59:59 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:59:59 2016 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Hebron Thu Oct 20 21:00:00 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:00:00 2016 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
However the Palestinian cabinet decision ( Mar 8th 2016) published on http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps/WebSite/Upload/Decree/ GOV_17/16032016134830.pdf states that summer time will end on Oct 29th at 01:00 .
There has been no recent updates from the government in this regard, I suggest to correct the end date accordingly.
