Lots of things happening recently... Palestinian news sources tell that both Gaza and West Bank will start DST on Friday (Thursday midnight, 2012-03-29 24:00). Some of many sources in Arabic: http://www.samanews.com/index.php?act=Show&id=122638 http://safa.ps/details/news/74352/%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%8... Our brief summary: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/gaza-west-bank-dst-2012.html And from Israel there is a confirmation on their start date too (same Friday) (Hebrew): http://www.moin.gov.il/PublicationsAndUsefullInfo/PressAnnouncements/Pages/s... It seems they will work further on the new daylight saving time proposal, but nothing has been decided yet. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com
