> # From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now

> # Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
> #
> # The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
> # (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
> # time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,

> #
> # The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally

> # the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
> # Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
> # towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
> # East Jerusalem.
> #
> # Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except

> # with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,

> # We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since

> # Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go
> # with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
> # and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
> # We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
> # the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
> # occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
> # However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
> # for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
> # to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please
> # send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.

> # From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
> # forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
> #
> # Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
> # last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
> # one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
> # the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
