Re: [tz] DST in Palestine will start one week later
Your discussion on Palestine’s DST has not touched on the fact that there are two different time zones for Palestine: (1) Asia/Gaza (covering the Gaza Strip) and (2) Asia/Hebron (covering the West Bank). Does your recent discussion relate to both time zones or to one specific time zone? For your information, timeanddate.com is showing different DST change dates for each regions However, it seems to have the wrong information for the city of Nablus (at least). The Palestine Exchange is located in Nablus and it clearly changed time today (29 March) according to its website: http://www.pex.ps/PSEWebSite/English/Default.aspx, while timeanddate.com indicates that it changed on 23 March. Thanks for any help you can provide in clarifying the time zone for this very confusing region!

Thanks for the info. It seems that 2019a is wrong and that we'll need to publish a new version with a correction like the one proposed in <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2019-March/027824.html> - although that proposal's transition time of 01:00 today is still just a guess, as we have a source for it.
Hi, I'd like to comment on few points that were raised throughout this thread: - Prayer times are not used by any means to identify events such as daylight saving changes, nor any event other than prayers ( same for Arab Muslims & non Arab Muslims) - Online calendars & prayer times charts (such as islamicfinder.org) relies on accuracy of tzinfo data on their server. so we can not rely on them to figure out DST - The day light saving is underestimated by the government, thus the cabinet did not maintain certain pattern in deciding the change time - The decree wording was loose and should have been revised before publishing. - The cabinet was too late (again) in announcing their decision on time change - Gaza & Hebron (Gaza strip & Westbank) are both within the state of Palestine thus any time change should be applied to both. AFAIK there are efforts within the government to standardize the daylight saving decision, hopefully to get there soon BR Sharef Mustafa On Sat, Mar 30, 2019 at 12:21 AM Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

Did anyone ever discover when the change actually happened? I assume that by now someone, somewhere, must know! kre
Our source in Palestine said it happened Friday 29 at 00:00 local time, and he also confirmed that the government switched the date from 30 March to 29 March. Even Scharning https://time.is/ On 2019-04-10 14:14, Robert Elz wrote:
