State of Israel

 * Government: Parliamentary Republic (elections currently suspended).
 * Laws: Rationing of resources continues, with no important laws being enacted this year. The state of emergency is kept as well due to the ongoing war with the Mamluks.
 * Prime Minister: Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud)
 * President: Benny Gantz (Blue and White)
 * Capital: Jerusalem (disputed [by who?])
 * Economy: The economy has more or less began to slowly resurge after the initial shock caused by The Event. As safe trade routes have not been established yet, the economical activity is for now limited to the national sectors. The economy is adapting to a slower and smaller growth rate, although ir is still considered vulnerable. The agricultural and fishing industries continue to be expanded, and thanks to the government's and multiple companies' support, they are now able to provide enough food for the entire population. It is worth mentioning that in order to keep up with this, supermarkets are only allowed to sell a certain number of products to each client in order to prevent another shortage. Although this measure received some criticism at first, it is worth mentioning that the numbers allowed per client are reasanoble, as the point of it is just prevent excessive waste of food. The transport industry is still suffering the most as a result of fuel shortage, although this is expected to end soon with the Mamluk-Israeli war. Nevertheless, public transport will switch to natural gas if possible.
 * Military:  The government uses the ongoing war against Mamluks as an opportunity for propaganda to boost the military's images and recruiting new people. This has a slight success, with an increaae in the number of recruits compared to last year. Most of the military is currently in the Levant and the Sinai peninsula, with the remainder defending the borders with Palestine and former Jordan and a minority located back at home. It has also been informed that a couple of vehicles and equipment have been lost due to the war, althogh no exact numbers are provided for now.

 * 265,000 active personnel (+10,000)

 * 300 towed artillery
 * 150 rocket projectors
 * Israeli Air Force:

 * 55,000 reserve personnel
 * 253 fighters
 * 18 transports
 * 153 trainers

 * Israeli Navy:
 * 9,500 active personnel
 * 10,000 reserve personnel

 * 5 submarines (Dolphin class)
 * 45 patrol boats

 * Events: 
 * Mamluk-Israeli war: As our initial pushes were a success, we decide to continue advancing into the Levant, giving it priority over the Egyptian front. After our troops took a break for celebrate last year's Christmas, a swift operation is conducted to take the city of Homs. After a few weeks of fighting the city would fall under our control. However, we were discovered after finding that the Mamluks have begun to use modern weaponry and vehicles. While this doesn't compromise our victory, it still fired red alarms as we are unaware of who could have been supplying them with weapons. Nevertheless, a new goal is set for the second half of the year: conquering the port of Beirut. Our forces attempt to charge into Beirut by November, with the outcome of this battle yet unknown. Back at the Egyptian front, the Sinai peninsula is now practically fully occupied. In order to prevent more casualties, the troops fighting in this front are told to not push further into Egypt and to instead build a defense line around the Sinai peninsula. We decide to not storm Egypt to prevent more casualties, as we hope that by conquering the Levant and exhausting the Mamluks we might be able to get them to agree to our demands by next year. The Jordan area is still on standby, with troops there taking a defensive stance as well.
 * Keeping morale up: To maintain the national spirit, the news and images of our victories in the Sinai, Homs and Damascus are spread as much as possible along with the promise that gaining access to oil-rich territory will allow us to restore fuel and energy supplies. Netanyahu has announced that new elections (originally planned for next year, but currently suspended) will be held once a peace treaty with the Mamluks is signed.
 * Jewish tricks: Following a visible confusion at Mamkuks posessing modern weaponry, the Mossad is given a new task - finding the origin of those weapons. Although we have heard Armenian reports about them sharing technology with their neighboors, we have no reason to believe this is their making, as they are our ally. Another theory, and probably one of the most convincing, is that they took weapons from the Aq Qoyunlu (as we gave them some AK-47s and other equipment to support their attack on the Mamluks last year), but this doesn't explain why we've also found Mamluk soldiers armed with rifles in the Egyptian front. Therefore, Palestine/Hamas becomes a top suspect along with the ongoing war in Libya (since weapons would be smuggled and sold very easily in this case). Weapons from detained or killed Mamluk soldiers are retrieved and given to our best ballistic experts for their analysis, though not much information has been found so far. The Mossad then begins a secret operation to infiltrate into Hamas, sending a couple disguised, arab-speaking agents to Palestine. It is currently unknown if they'll even be able to infiltrate into the organization, let lone gather useful intel without dying, but we hope that t least one of them will be able to come back and confirm if Hamas is responsible for the sudden appearance of modern weapons among the Mamluk army. Although we wish that we could send a similar number of agents to Libya, this is deemed too dangerous and almost impossible to do given the current circumstances.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Aq Qoyunlu: We thank them for their quick response against the Mamluks.
 * Exiles: Using the few channels available for communication, we suggest everyone to pay special attention to food management if they haven't done so yet, quoting the failure of the Mexicans as an example of what would happen if things get out of hand.
 * Qara Qoyunlu: As the war with the Mamulks wages, we send a team of diplomats to Qara Qonyunlu, escorted by a military contingent. We propose them to help develop Kuwait City and to works towards the modernization of their country along with Armenia. In return, we would like auhorization for drilling for oil in their territory. Therefore, we ask for permission to send trucks, government officials, engineers, business people and oil drilling equipment to Kuwait Ciy.
