This agrees with McDow's 04-07 at 00:00, 1112# but disagrees about the October transition, and makes it sound like 1113# it's not on a trial basis.

1052 1053# Palestine 1054 1055# From Amos Shapir <amos@nsof.co.il> (1998-02-15): 1056# 1057# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now 1058# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule. 1059# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too... 1060# 1061# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05 1062# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no 1063# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt, 1064# though. 1065# 1066# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally 1067# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from 1068# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the 1069# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major 1070# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and 1071# East Jerusalem. 1072# 1073# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except 1074# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might 1075# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware 1076# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer 1077# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected). 1078# 1079# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most 1080# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to 1081# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to 1082# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't 1083# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the 1084# Jordanian one). 1085# 1086# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that: 1087# 1088# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996- 1089# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------- 1090# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion 1091# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan 1092# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan 1093# 1094# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they 1095# have one). 1096 1097# From Paul Eggert (1998-02-25): 1098# Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go 1099# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947, 1100# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996. 1101# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since 1102# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about 1103# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970. 1104# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries 1105# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules 1106# to Palestine's rules.
