Title:
  weather applet doesn't include Jerusalem location

Status in “libgweather” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Number of users affected: 804,000

  /usr/share/libgweather/Locations.xml doesn't contain an entry for
  Jerusalem, yet there are weather stations in Jerusalem and all
  commercial weather websites I know of provide weather updates for
  Jerusalem/Israel.

  Here the Locations.xml entry for Israel:

  <country><name>Israel</name><iso-code>IL</iso-code><fips-code>IS
  </fips-code><timezones><timezone id="Asia/Jerusalem"/></timezones><tz-

  None of the other locations in Israel is near Jerusalem, nor does any
  of them have the same climate. It seems very odd to see the capital of
  Israel missing in gweather - all other countries I checked have an
  entry for their capital.
