I checked www.worldtimeserver.com recently and most of the recent changes to the tz database are in line with this server, it seems to be fairly well up-dated in timezone matters (unlike wikipedia, for instance!). This goes for Haiti, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Irana, and Georgia to mention a few. Therefore I was surprised to see that they have UTC+3 at the moment for Palestinian Territory, when tz database will first have Gaza to enter DST in approximately 18 hours. This could be because they think that it follows Israel time, but it might be because they learned something more about Gaza/West Bank. Does anyone have information if Gaza/West Bank in fact applied DST before expected or not?
