# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-08-26):

# Gaza and the West Bank did go back to standard time in the beginning of

# August, and will now enter daylight saving time again on 2011-08-30

# 00:00 (so two periods of DST in 2011). The pause was because of

# Ramadan.

# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-08-27):

# According to the article in The Jerusalem Post:

# "...Earlier this month, the Palestinian government in the West Bank decided to

# move to standard time for 30 days, during Ramadan. The Palestinians in the

# Gaza Strip accepted the change and also moved their clocks one hour back.

# The Hamas government said on Saturday that it won't observe summertime after

# the Muslim feast of Id al-Fitr, which begins on Tuesday..."

# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-09-30):

# West Bank did end Daylight Saving Time this morning/midnight (2011-09-30

# 00:00).

# So West Bank and Gaza now have the same time again.
