* Gaza and the West Bank (Palestine) has left DST early 
(probably because of Ramadan) according to an article in 
The Palestine News Network
http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=596&Itemid=5
which runs "The Council of Ministers announced that this year 
its winter schedule will begin early, as of midnight Thursday. 
It is also time to turn back the clocks for winter. Friday 
will begin an hour late this week."

This is in line with the switch in Egypt and Syria making
all three leave DST at the same time.

Old End Rule : Wednesday 4.th. of October 2006 at 2:00
New End Rule : Friday 22.nd. of September 2006 at 0:00
