State of Israel

 * Government: Parliamentary Republic (elections currently suspended).
 * Laws: Use of personal cars is now fully restricted as there is not enough fuel to supply everyone. Netanyahu promises that everything will gradually return to normal as soon as we get a hold of oil supply. Water and electricity are still being rationed but remain available for the most essential uses. Later on, Netanyahu would announce that rather than maintaining oil-derivated fuel as our only option, the government would encourage the use of natural gas as an alternative, as Israel has a large amount of natural gas reserves.
 * Prime Minister: Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud)
 * President: Reuven Rivlin (Likud)
 * 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 is also being boosted. The first important findings of natural gas in Israel were made in 2004, and production has only grown since then. As there are huge natural gas reserves, this will surely benefit our deteriorated energy sector.
 * Military: The military mobilization is put on standby for the time being. While it is true that our country is preparing for fierce conflicts, it is believed that the current military numbers are more than enough to face our enemies. In the end, quality is valued over quantity. It is worth mentioning that military service is mandatory (although Arabs may opt out of it), and that the training that the recruits receive is being diversified.
 * Israeli Army:
 * 215,000 active personnel
 * 300,000 reserve personnel
 * 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 11th Egyptian plague: Netanyahu is completely sure that the Mamluks must be anhilated as soon as possible. However, before going to a full-on war with them, an operation is launched for weakening their population. Biomedical research labs are told to cultivate the most pathogenic strains they could find of multiple disease-causing bacteria. The selected microbes are known to propagate through contaminated food and water and they cause symptons related to the digestive tract. After obtaining pure, highly pathogenic cultures of each microbe, a total of 8 Hamas prisoners are inoculated using the food they usually consume in prison. The pathogens selected for this operation are the following:
 * Salmonella enterica
 * Salmonella typhi (causes typhoid fever)
 * Escherichia coli
 * Vibrio cholerae (causes cholera)
 * This operation is conducted with the maximum degree of secrecy and with the key participation of Mossad in order to prevent a scandal. After a few days all but one developed a severe disentery and other gastroinstestinal symptons, depending of the microbe they were infected with. Fecal matter from all subjects is quickly retrieved and the presence of the respective microbes is confirmed by lab studies. Mere hours after this, a small fleet of helicopters (5 in total) is sent to Cairo, with the objective of arriving by night. The helicopters, while most surely noticed by the mamluks in the desert and in the city, make sure to fly at a high enough altitude to avoid being attacked. After finally arriving into Cairo, they lower their altitude a bit and drop high amounts of fecal matter from the infected test subjects, along with multiple vials containing cultures of the previously mentioned microorganisms in the Nile river. Having finished their task, the helicopter fleet swiftly returned to Israel and announced that this phase of the operation had been completed. The effects of the operation are currently unknown (make an event for this Side please), but we hope that contaminating the Nile river would cause an epidemic that would crumble the Mamluks' economical and political stability, or if not, at least keep them occupied for a while. As forh the test subjects, 2 of them (both infected with cholera) died while the rest managed to recuperate.
 * Old tricks: After having conducted the operation known as "11th egyptian plague", Netanyahu orders the Mossad to perform an assasination attempt on the Mamluk sultan. For this, the biological warfare line is followed once again. Anthrax is cultivated in labs and transformed into a white dust which is then put on an envelope along with multiple letters. A Mossad member fluent in Arab is disguised as a Palestinian and sent to Cairo to deliver the letter to the Mamluk sultan, Sayf ad-Din Jaqmaq. Since the travel is long as the agent is not using a car but rather a camel, he is supplied with firearms, a portable radio and enough water and food rations to increase his chances of reaching his destiny safely. The desired outcome is the Sultan opening the envelope and aspiring the anthrax-infected white dust. As anthrax is highly lethal in this form, Netanyahu hopes that this assasination attempt will be successful. The outcome is currently unknown though (mod response needed).
 * Border: Just like in the past year, the borders with both the Mamluks are being heavely guarded by the Israeli Army and artillery and air force are ob their right spots for responding to any incoming hostile forces.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Exiled: Communication is now properly established. However, since we are far away from most of them (except Palestine and Libya, which are like, enemies), we don't really discuss anything of relevance. Nevertheless, the reveal that multiple 2019 nations still exist does help our population calm down a bit.
 * Armenia: An alliance is signed. We won't allow the Byzatine Empire to fall.
 * Aq Qoyunlu: We send a diplomat fluent in multiple languages to establish contact. The team also includes a couple history specialized in middle eastern history. Given that this travel is long and requires passing through Mamluk territory, the diplomat is escorted by multiple military trucks. Once contact is established, a few pieces of modern technology (such as smartphones, lamps and even a civil drone) are offered as presents along with three ingots of gold. An offer is then made; support us in an eventual war against the mamluks (we will provide some modern weapons) and you will receive more of this modern technology.
