Hi,

Regarding Palestine end of summer time (Asia/Gaza + Asia/Hebron), the
current tz database shows that summer time will end on Oct 20th 2016,

sharef at plug.ps:/usr/share/zoneinfo$ zdump -v Asia/Gaza | grep 2016
Asia/Gaza  Fri Mar 25 22:59:59 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 00:59:59 2016 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Asia/Gaza  Fri Mar 25 23:00:00 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 02:00:00 2016 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Gaza  Thu Oct 20 20:59:59 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:59:59 2016 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Gaza  Thu Oct 20 21:00:00 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:00:00 2016 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

also for westbank Hebron

sharef at plug.ps:/usr/share/zoneinfo$ zdump -v Asia/Hebron | grep 2016
Asia/Hebron  Fri Mar 25 22:59:59 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 00:59:59 2016 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Asia/Hebron  Fri Mar 25 23:00:00 2016 UT = Sat Mar 26 02:00:00 2016 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Hebron  Thu Oct 20 20:59:59 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:59:59 2016 EEST
isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Hebron  Thu Oct 20 21:00:00 2016 UT = Thu Oct 20 23:00:00 2016 EET
isdst=0 gmtoff=7200


However the Palestinian cabinet decision ( Mar 8th 2016) published on
http://www.palestinecabinet.gov.ps/WebSite/Upload/Decree/GOV_17/16032016134830.pdf
states that summer time will end on Oct 29th at 01:00 .

There has been no recent updates from the government in this regard, I
suggest to correct the end date accordingly.
