840# From Amos Shapir <amos@nsof.co.il> (1998-02-15):
841#
842# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
843# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
844# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
845#
846# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
847# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
848# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
849# though.
850#
851# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
852# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
853# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
854# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
855# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
856# East Jerusalem.
857#
858# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
859# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
860# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
861# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
862# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
863#
864# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
865# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
866# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
867# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
868# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
869# Jordanian one).
870#
871# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
872#
873# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
874# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
875# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
876# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
877# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
878#
879# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
880# have one).
881
882# From Paul Eggert (1998-02-25):
883# Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go
884# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
885# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
886# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
887# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
888# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
889# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
890# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
891# to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please
892# send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.
893
894# From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
895# forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
896#
897# Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
898# last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
899# one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
900# the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
