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-hint>Asia/Jerusalem</tz-hint><city><name>Elat</name><coordinates>29.561111 34.951667</coordinates><location><name>Elat</name><code>LLET</code><coordinates>29.550000 34.950000</coordinates></location></city><city><name>Mahanayim</name><coordinates>32.983333 35.566667</coordinates><location><name>Galilee / Pina</name><code>LLIB</code><coordinates>32.980000 35.570000</coordinates></location></city><city><name>Mahane Yisra'el</name><coordinates>32.000000 34.916667</coordinates><location><name>Ben-Gurion International Airport</name><code>LLBG</code><coordinates>32.000000 34.900000</coordinates></location></city><city><name>Ramot Remez</name><coordinates>32.781667 35.016667</coordinates><location><name>Sde-Haifa Haifa</name><code>LLHA</code><coordinates>32.800000 35.033333</coordinates></location></city><city><name>Shizzafon</name><coordinates>30.041667 35.027778</coordinates><location><name>Ovda</name><code>LLOV</code><coordinates>30.000000 34.833333</coordinates></location></city><city><name>Tel Aviv</name><coordinates>32.066667 34.766667</coordinates><location><name>Sde-Dov Airport</name><code>LLSD</code><coordinates>32.114722 34.782222</coordinates></location></city></country>

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.
