State of Israel

 * Government: Parliamentary Republic (elections currently suspended).
 * Laws: A one-child policy is enacted by Prime Minister Netanyahu in order to save resources. However, a notable restriction is made for Jewish people living in occupied Palestinian territory (Israel has illegal colonies on it irl). Those who refuse to follow the law face high fines and variable time in jail. Water and electricity are still being rationed but remain available for the most essential uses.
 * Prime Minister: Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud)
 * President: Reuven Rivlin (Likud) (before July 24th, 1446/2021) | Benny Gantz (Blue and White) (from July 24th, 1446/2021)
 * Capital: Jerusalem (disputed [by who?])
 * Economy: The agricultural industry is still receiving special attention for the sake of feeding the population. Fishing has also come into the government's attention, with more and more fishing boats being sent to our shores. The three main natural fishing zones are the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee). Natural gas production continues to be prioritized as slow advances are made to switch the motors of new cars from using gasoline as fuel to natural gas. Trade with other countries (except for maybe Palestine) continues to remain impossible as the Mamluk-controlled land routes are considered too dangerous for trucks to travel. Naval trade is considered to not be of enough value to spend the little fuel we have on it.
 * Military:  The military is swiftly mobilized as we engage in a full-on war with the Mamluks. A couple thousand men from the reserves are called into the frontline, increasing the number of our active land personnel. Armored vehicles, tanks and artillery are all being used in different fronts of the war. The Air Force is also mobilizex but does not keep a major role in the war, as its involvement is not considered vital to defeat the Mamluks and we'd prefer to ration fuel. Helicopters are the main aircraft used in the operation, serving as support for the land forces. The Navy remains on standby.
 * Israeli Army:
 * 255,000 active personnel (+40,000)
 * 260,000 reserve personnel (-40,000)
 * 2,760 combat tanks
 * 6,541 armore fighting vehicles
 * 650 self-propelled artillery
 * 300 towed artillery
 * 150 rocket projectors
 * Israeli Air Force:
 * 30,000 active personnel
 * 55,000 reserve personnel
 * 253 fighters
 * 18 transports
 * 153 trainers
 * 96 helicopters
 * 48 attack helicopeters
 * Israeli Navy:
 * 9,500 active personnel
 * 10,000 reserve personnel
 * 3 corvettes (Sa'ar 5 class)
 * 8 missile boats (Sa'ar 4.5 class)
 * 5 submarines (Dolphin class)
 * 45 patrol boats
 * 2 support ships
 * Events: 
 * The Presidential succession: President Reuven Rivilin, a Likud member, had been elected by the parlimaent back in 2014 for a single, seven years-long term. The term would be supposed to end on July 24th of the current year. Although it was widely expected that he would remain in charge for a longer time due to the emergency situation, Netanyahu announced that he would be nominating opposition leader Benny Gantz from the Blue and White party for the charge. Gantz announced that he would accept the nomination and met with Nentanyahu on the following day, holding a joint press conference where they called for national unity. This was seen as an attempt of maintaining stability and increase people's hopes, as well as keeping natiomal unity. Gantz would then be confirmed by the Parliament. He took charge as President of Israel on July 24th.
 * The 11th Egyptian plague: A second dispatch of helicopters carrying infectious material with Salmonella, Vibrio spp and other enteric disease-causing microbes (the same that were used in the past turn) is sent to Cairo once again. Although there is no fecal matter this time, vials containing viable cultures of the aforementioned microbes are dropped on Nile River in the middle of the chaos unleashed by the epidemic. The helicopters then return to Israel as planned. The goal of this small reinfection is maintaining the current cholera epidemic alive, for the sake of further destabilizing the Mamluks.
 * Mamluk-Israeli war: After conducting the second phase of our biowarfare program, a swift invasion is launched on the Mamluk Sultanate as we formally declare war on them. A total of 130,000 men are employed in this operation along with a couple of armored vehicles, tanks and artillery pieces. The Air Force conducts support tasks (transport and dispatch of resources and equipment), and is only used for attacking in highly important operations, such as the Battle of Damascus. Two different fronts are established, the first one is located on the Sinai peninsula. A strategy for occupying the peninsula is divised, partially following plans from the now erased Six Days War. The other front, which is given more importance by the military, is the levantine front, in former Syria and Lebanon. The main goal is occupying the city of Damascus. Our troops attempt to advance as far deep into the Levant as possible while Damascus is besieged. Finally, the former Jordan-Israel border is solely being defended and no pushes are made into this region. Note: @Side, you get to decide how much I am able to advance in terms of territory, and if Damascus is besieged (not sure if there could be an outcome by now).
 * The Palestinian question: As in the past years, the border with Palestine is still being heavely defended and patrolled, even with the ongoing conflict with the Mamluks. We want to make sure that the terrorists don't see the war with the Mamluks as a chance for entering and damaging our territory.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Aq Qoyunlu: They are told to attack the Mamluks with all they got. Basic weaponry such as AK-47s is provided, but only in limited numbers. Nevertheless, they should be able to take the Mamluks by surprise.
 * Mamluks: You shouldn't even bother, but you may fight back if you wish.
