The attached PDF had different spring dates for 2024-2026 compared to what tzdata has predicted.

Yes, but that PDF is simply page 2 of the PDF dated 2022-08-22 that we received in August 2022[1]. This was later superseded by the March 2023 cabinet decision[2]. I guess that the email we received today[3] copies the August 2022 communique merely to support the statement that Palestine's fall transition is the same that what was planned in August 2022. TZDB currently predicts that Palestine's spring transition will be April 13, 2024 at 02:00, contrary to [1] and [3] (which have the transition on March 30) but more consistent with [2] (which says Palestine used standard time during Ramadan 2023). It would be helpful if the Palestinian cabinet could confirm TZDB's guess soon, rather than wait until April next year, because if TZDB's guess is wrong it will take some time to propagate fixes out to cell phones and computers.
