possible change to daylight saving rules in Palestine

Thank you for letting me know that the Palestinian cabinet is scheduled to respond this week to your address to them about daylight saving time during Ramadan. It would be convenient for cell phones and computers using the TZDB database if the cabinet decides to spring forward on April 13 at 02:00, and fall back on October 26 at 02:00, as that is what is predicted in TZDB. If the cabinet decides differently, I appreciate your offer to let us know as soon as possible. We are planning to issue a new TZDB release soon. It'd be helpful if any changes for Palestine could be incorporated in this new release, so that downstream users don't have the hassle of dealing with extra releases. I will cc this message to the tz mailing list to let people there know about this possible effect on our release schedule. If the cabinet needs reminding, I'll mention again that it's helpful to get a year's notice about unexpected changes, as discussed here: https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/how-time-zones-are-coordinated-13-03-...
