<p>There seems to be a serious inconsistency between how Palestine
is handled, and how Kiev is handled, and how <span
style="font-size: 14px; font-style: normal;
font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;
font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness:
initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color:
initial; display: inline !important; float: none;">Xinjiang is
handled</span>.<br>
</p>
<p>As I said, people on the ground in Gaza and Kiev and Xinjiang
clearly care that their own systems are honoured, and clearly
citizens there don't call themselves part of Israel's Palestinian
Territories, Russia's colonies, nor China's.<br>
<br>
The current naming is clearly favouring the occupiers, over the
actual users of that data.<br>

Oct,2020 regarding State of Palestine’s request to correct the

*_PS State of Palestine Asia/East Jerusalem UTC

Also, we would like to inform you that the State of Palestine
comprises of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and Gaza,
all of which are integral parts of the State of Palestine, thus,
as one territorial unit all areas belong to the same time zone.
<br>
<br>
We would like to also emphasize that East Jerusalem is an
integral part of the West Bank as stipulated under international
law and by numerous international resolutions.
<br>

Therefore, we urge you to adopt the official name and correct
your data base.

IETF motto:
<br>
"We reject: kings, presidents, and voting.
<br>
We believe in: rough consensus and running code."
<br>
<br>
We provide pragmatic, useful information and care only what
people's watches and systems are set to over a significant region
and over a significant period of time.
<br>
<br>
The territory mentioned is disputed but continues to fall under
under the control of Israel which sets the time zones used on the
ground.
<br>
The situation is similar in Crimea and elsewhere in the world.
<br>
<br>
Anyone who wishes may set their systems to use Asia/Gaza,
Asia/Hebron, or Asia/Jerusalem depending on the time they want to
see.
