Israel's Next Step On The Global Stage
Alexander Valkor II
I come before you today as your Minister of Foreign Affairs to announce a change of direction in our foreign policy. In large part, we have been staunch supporters of Atlantis, later Fortis and then EDEN more recently. Atlantis helped us a good deal, Fortis fell apart in the PEACE Invasion of North America and EDEN was... well they were just there.
However we have longtime been allies with the United States and within recent months we rekindled relations with the Greeks after a Turkish embarrassment. This was strengthened by the MPP we signed with Greece and the MPP we've had with the USA for months.
As many will remember, the USA liberated much of Israel along with much of Greece at the same time. I remember this clearly as I was an officer in the United States Mobile Infantry, at the time I was a Captain. In later months I became General and continued to see support for Israel in the Joint Chiefs and other top American officials.
A New Direction
However time now comes for us to reassess the direction we are going. For a long time, especially in recent months, we have catered to the needs of EDEN over ourselves. Our relationship with Greece is good, but not as good as it can be. Our only best friend in this world is America and I know it will continue to be that way.
We also have an issue of a lack of wars. We need wars to train our people and keep ready access to a hospital open. These may seem like separate issues, however you will soon realize they are closely interlinked. We used to have our training wars through the USA-Ireland War Games, however those have been stopped for almost two months. Before that, we were involved in the EDEN War Games occasionally as well. At this point in time, we are now getting into the Sol War Games.
Where We're Heading
Sol. I will be the first to acknowledge that in the past I have been hugely critical of Sol and an avid supporter of joining EDEN. Since then I've been able to step back, look at each alliance, our current standings and our needs and I've had a change of heart. Similarly, many people in the administration also feel that breaking away from EDEN and actively engaging in Sol is our best option. History has proven that neutrality doesn't work however, so we're not only going to work with Sol. We're joining the alliance.
Now many may ask what makes Sol appealing to us. Sol welcomes us. As of last check, Israel had a 75% "yes" voting to a 0% "no" voting. They will respect us as an equal partner and we will have an equal say in the major issues. In Sol, there is a plethora of potential allies.
When Israel was in need, Malaysia worked to help us and we came to a mutual agreement. When the dice were rolled and our last stronghold was being hit, we'd help each other if we could and we did. When our nation was being overrun by the Turks and was under their occupation, the South Africans offered the assistance of their armed forces to fight alongside our troops in the Defense Forces. Also to add in, the American SEAL Team 6 was ready to support us. These are the kind of allies we need.
Let us not forget about the War Games either.
Primary Goals of Our New Policy
1) Get into a war game. These are absolutely necessary to building and maintaining our populations health and to keep up with the global activity.
2) Pick a side. Neutrality doesn't work. Being a zombie doesn't either. We searched around and found what was right for us. Sol.
3) Build our relations with traditional allies and reach out to other countries and build relations.
Closure
In closing, we must understand who are real allies are and what's best for eIsrael. Right now we need friends, not people who seek only to use us or don't care for us. We need to build relations with countries that we don't talk to very much and pursue better relations with our enemies as well. Israel is far outclassed militarily by both nations in our region. Greece is our ally. Turkey is not. We need to create pillars of peace on our borders with Turkey to ensure our national security.
Signed,
Sir Valaro Volcrum
Minister of Foreign Affairs

\o/ Israel!
I can totally understand this. Way to go, SVV. Best of luck and we'll meet down the road I'm sure.
Submitted from PigInZen's org...
I'm glad to say I agree with this policy 😁
And hey, perhaps I can help us be able to afford the costs 😉
Voted. Let's do what's best for our country.
Welcome to Sol 🙂
well, I wouldn't have taken the same path, but this will work best for us right now I think. At least were not neutral and cant be slapped by everyone as easily now. Let Israel Flourish.
I don't know... Still, what we've been trying up till now has failed every time so I'll go along.
Agreed 110%.
Sol wargames - YES.
Full membership and rejection of EDEN - NO.
Are we joining Sol, because EDEN won't have us?
I doubt our friendship with the US will change due to us joining Sol, Franz.
@Franz: We are joining Sol because we have lots of friends of this nation there, such as South Africa and Malaysia. They have welcomed us with open arms and through full membership we can be an equal partner in all their decisions.
Joining SOL? What do we have to do with them?
I support the idea of joining them, esppicially because of the War Games.
But rejecting EDEN is a dangerous step, isn't it?
"Joining SOL? What do we have to do with them?"
nice,safe,neutral....fun,fun,fun 😛
voted.
I agree with the new policy and getting war games are super important.
Seems like I found a good time to join eRepulik on eIsrael's side. \o/
"Pick a side. Neutrality doesn't work. Being a zombie doesn't either. We searched around and found what was right for us. Sol."
I always thought that to be in Sol = to be neutral. Anyway who is in Sol apart of Malaysia? And how they gonna protect Israel against Turkey?
SUPPORT IDEA!
Just two questions:
1. When it will happen?
2. How much it will cost?
I don’t care entering SOL, if it will bring us discount for TW. When we checked cost of SOL TW couple months ago it was outrages. But we need TW RIGHT NOW!!! So just do it. Particularly after eUSA helped us w/ their MPP.
Joining Sol does not mean rejecting EDEN. In fact we can be a full member of Sol and still join EDEN (for example, Australia is a member of both alliances). Joining Sol (in my opinion) is a natural decision for us, considering we are on the Asian continent and we would finally be an equal in an alliance of similar nations, not just a pawn of countries with much bigger concerns than Israel (EDEN).
So exactly what I said, what? Four months ago? Nice to see you guys finally coming around (took you far too long, though, if you ask me).
Would it be possible for someone to present information and links about Sol? Charter and so on?
*Called it*
"So exactly what I said, what? Four months ago? Nice to see you guys finally coming around (took you far too long, though, if you ask me)."
FORGIVE US SOULSALVAGE! WE WERE YOUNG AND FOOLISH!
@Elezaar: Sol is neutral in the EDEN/Phoenix War, but they back each other up like any defensive alliance.
And we'll probably get more help from Sol vs Turkey than EDEN has offered us thus far.
However we can't and will not forget Greece 🙂
"Would it be possible for someone to present information and links about Sol? Charter and so on?"
Great idea.
I know, right Soul?
SVV, i still do not get it. You want to have MPPs with all SOL members? What is your MPP-plan for next month? USA+Malaysia+????
From my point of view, you will get less than nothing joining SOL. Wargames are ok, but joining SOL has no point at all.
אתה התמזמז עם החברה שלך כאשר לפתע פתאום הטלפון מצלצל. אתה עונה לטלפון ואומר "שלום?" הקול בצד השני אומר "מה לעזאזל אתה עושה עם הבת שלי!?" אתה שואל את החברה שלך איך אבא שלה קיבל את המספר הטלפון הזה, אבל היא אומרת שאבא שלה מת לפני שלוש שנים. אז מי היה בטלפון؟
@SVV: We're shooting for an MPP where we can training wars. And Sol offers us equality in all discussion and with the inevitable creating of the SolDiers (similar to EDEN's Mobile Corps) we will also have an extra military force to help protect us from invasion.

More importantly, however. Sol has ME. Hilarity aside, now is a good time to get involved with us. Opportunities are booming and eIsrael's voice will be a welcome one. 🙂
for our nation to grow we need training wars so if this alliance with Sol will bring us wars then lets go for it !
Welcome to Sol! 🙂
Can't wait to help defend a new ally 🙂
