Please use the TZ setting 'Asia/Gaza' or 'Asia/Hebron', depending on whether you're in Gaza or the West Bank; the difference matters only for pre-2000 time stamps. This should work for all the suppliers you're talking about except for Microsoft, which does not use the tz package. For more about TZ settings please see <http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html>.

Actually... I was looking at the WinRT Calendar docs [1] the other day and was rather shocked to read the GetTimeZone method returned "The identifier from the IANA Time Zone Database that identifies the time zone that is used by this Calendar object. (An example is "Americas/Los_Angeles" for Pacific Time.)". Does anyone know If they've just adopted the IDs using a translation table, or are actually using the database? Cheers! John.

If they are really returning "Americas/Los_Angeles" then they can't be using the tz database unmodified, as its name omits the first "s".

Could well be, but if so the same typo is in the documentation for DateTimeFormatter.Format(DateTime, String) <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/Apps/dn264145.aspx>. Anyway this documentation is marked "preliminary" and "subject to change", so it's probably premature to add Windows to our list of implementations <http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html>.

For all the APIs, including the Boring Old Win32/Win64 APIs, or only the Shiny New WinRT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRT (not to be confused with Windows RT) APIs?
The tz database is a list of actual timezones in use by people in various regions of the world, named according to a major city within regions. The tz database doesn't need official documentation, and there is no official registry of timezones, though documentation may be helpful in clarifying the timezone rules in the database if the database as currently presented is incorrect. The tz database then is made available publicly, which may then be used directly or indirectly by various operating systems and applications. Where possible, it attempts to be as apolitical as possible. According to the current tz database structure, TZ regions are not necessarily restrained within international boundaries. Currently there is already data for the region that includes Hebron, and data for the region that includes Gaza. If the timezone rules in the db for these regions are incorrect, we would be pleased to correct them if you can provide evidence that the data is incorrect. On 2013-09-30 4:27, Fadia Al Marei wrote:
