We have set the timezone as GMT+2 and the date shows GMT-2
How to fix this?

I assume that the timezone config is implemented by your own proprietary YANG model as for ietf-system.yang the path is /system/clock/timezone-name, or that you have made some CLI customization.
I also assume that you are referring to the /examples.confd/linuxcfg example.

Etc/GMT+2 is equal to -2 under ISO 8601
