Palestine DST postponed by a day
Sources such as http://www.alquds.com/news/article/view/id/548257 and http://www.raya.ps/ar/news/890705.html say Palestine areas will start DST on 2015-03-28 00:00 which is one day later than expected. Our wrap-up: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/palestine-starts-dst-2015.html As a side note, some sources report that Kuwait may introduce DST. According to media reports like http://www.kuna.net.kw/ArticleDetails.aspx?id=2421216&Language=ar the authorities are considering advancing clocks by 2 hours every year.

Thanks for the heads-up. I see that timeanddate.com also says Palestine's fall 2014 change was Oct 24, not Sep 26 as predicted earlier. I installed the attached patch to the github experimental version of the tz database to make it agree with timeanddate on both points. This means we should generate a new tz release before March 28 (hopefully well before).

Yes, it did change back on Oct 24 in 2014, according to the following news sources: http://www.alwatanvoice.com/arabic/news/2014/10/20/606362.html http://www.psnews.ps/index.php?act=Show&id=91917
