[tz] FW: State of Palestine Time zone - need to update

[maysa at mtit.gov.ps]

Dear sir, 

The problem I'm pointing out is the 2nd " The strings "Asia/Gaza" and "Asia/Hebron" are in tzdb".

According to the guideline in <https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html#naming>,
there is nothing that prohibit the change of the current used string "Asia/Gaza" and "Asia/Hebron"
to be Asia/Al Quds, this term is used in according to the ISO codes.

And hence I'm asking to change the strings in tzdb from " The strings "Asia/Gaza" and "Asia/Hebron" to be 
Asia/AlQuds.

Thank you for your cooperation 
Maysa

The phrase "Palestinian Territory" appears nowhere in the tzdb, so if that's the 
problem you're pointing out, please contact the website that contains the 
phrase, as the phrase is not coming from us.

The strings "Asia/Gaza" and "Asia/Hebron" are in tzdb and were chosen according 
to the guidelines in <https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html#naming>, so 
if that's the problem you're pointing out, please read those guidelines and 
explain the problem in the light of those guidelines.
