Hi Ayman,

if You configure GMT-2 thats mean minus two, and if You configure GMT+2 its
mean plus two!


"*By default, hour-offset is 0. You can configure this to be a value in the
range from -14 to +12.*"

You can see help output on Your box like on mine:


user at Router> help topic system time-zone
                             Setting the Time Zone

   The default local time zone on the router is UTC (Coordinated Universal
   Time, formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT). To modify the local
   time zone, include the time-zone statement at the [edit system] hierarchy
   level:
     [edit system]
         *time-zone (GMThour-offset *| time-zone);
*   You can use the GMT hour-offset option to set the time zone relative to
   UTC (GMT) time. By default, hour-offset is 0. You can configure this to
be
   a value in the range from -14 to +12.*
   You can also specify time-zone as a string such as PDT (Pacific Daylight
   Time) or WET (Western European Time), or specify the continent and major
   city.
   For the time zone change to take effect for all processes running on the
   router, you must reboot the router.

Examples: Setting the Time Zone

*   Set the time zone relative to UTC (GMT):
     [edit]
         user at host# set system time-zone GMT+2*
   Set the time zone for Pacific Daylight Time:
     [edit]
         user at host# set system time-zone PDT
         [edit]
         user at host# show
     system {
         time-zone PDT;
     }
   Set the time zone for New York:
     [edit]
         user at host# set system time-zone America/New_York
         [edit]
         user at host# show
     system {
         time-zone America/New_York;
     }
