<p>No, you cannot.</p>
<p>The theory.html files describes quite clearly the rules for which
towns qualify as zone names.<br>
My suggestion refers primarily to relaxed spelling options for

<p>The Palestinan request contradicts the rules in the theory file.
tzdb does not aim to represent capitals for zone names, but the
most important population center. <br>

<p>Because Hebron is the most populous town in Palestine, it is
correctly used as zone name.</p>
