Multi-agency task force reviews economic policies
The Ministry of Finance has formed a task force between the Olami Trade Association, the Federal Development Association, the Bureau of Keshef Management and the Central Bank of Beiteynu with the mandate of reviewing the government's economic agenda and proposing appropriate measures



Yishelem, Beiteynu - As the summer heat turns up and energy prices continue to remain high in light of the recent Trigunian crisis and the persistent lack of clarity in Beiteynuese-Trigunian relations, the multi-agency task force reports that the assessment stage of the government's current and potential future economic measures has been completed, having identified 4 key areas that should represent the Weiss Administration's main focus points on the country's economy.

1) Subsidies for the primary sector, to reinvigorate local agricultural economies in the Amikot and Golav Valleys, including the recently frozen expansion efforts from Kundrati institutions in the fishing industry of the Kimshkitot Islands after almost a century of neglect.

2) Welfare & infrastructure programs, much in the manner of the Le Hofesh and Bei Ishmael Acts on the modernisation and expansion of Beiteynuese ports and airports across the country, including the desalination project in Tel Bira, with an emphasis on moving forward and expediting the 88B LOD Local Development Act before the end of the decade, on various residential, commercial - with an emphasis on the tourism industry - and industrial areas - with an emphasis on manufacturing and consumer products, an initiative which has remained frozen after the Hashim Administration decided to "tread lightly" in social and infrastructure related investments in the intermission between the 13 year recession and the Trigunian crisis.

3) Government-triggered investments and joint partnerships with Beiteynu's, and its partners's such as Selucia, premier universities and research entities like Black Beisa and Aristocrat Energetical - especially focused on business administration and engineering to reverse the effects of "Brain Drain" largely observed during the 13 year recession on 2 subjects crucial to the country's economy - as well as the computer and information technology sector via targeted initiatives by the Department of Digital Transformation and Governance, the Tactical Bureau of Intelligence and the Ministry of Science & Technology to enable entities such as Beishalom Group in boosting the IT sector that's already vested in various niche areas of software development such as military grade OSs and programmatic advertising, hopefully injecting the necessary capital into the market to create appropriate opportunities for growth.

4) Expansion and enablement of trade relations in Seleya, via Lourenne, which will reinvigorate the country's primary economic drivers - the shipping, travel and financial sectors, which saw their investment capital and potential shrink 5 years ago, at the start of the Trigunian crisis. Pursuant to the "widening" of the country's trade network, the joint task force also found it prudent that the Medinat Department considers extending relations with other rising markets such as Dankuk, Valruzia and Endralon, including assessing the status of Beiteynu's participation in the MEA, which is dominated by Dorvish commerce.

Ministry of Health and Social Services building in Yishelem, Beiteynu.

Yishelem, Beiteynu - "Our health sector has been ignored for far too long and this national strategy will change that" was the sentiment shared by the Minister of Health and Social Services Ruth Silverman whilst delivering a press conference this afternoon. The MOHES unveiled a comprehensive health strategy with a national focus on minority and rural communities, women and the disabled. The strategy also outlines a taskforce with the Ministry of Science and Technology whereby the government will invest more on its researchers and work in close partnership with the private sector to develop health and medical breakthroughs.

Besides her press statement, Minister Silverman added:

The Mnistry recognizes the importance of an equitable healthcare that is accessible for all regardless of race, gender, status or even setting. This national health strategy will focus on minority communities, rural areas, women and the disabled. Not only that, this strategy will review the healthcare sector of the country and provide recommendations to further improve it. Speaking of improvement, we will work with the Ministry of Science and Technology and allocate more funding to our researchers in the health and medical sector so that they can come up with mind blowing breakthroughs that will undoubtedly improve our healthcare.

Regardless, our news organization was able to get a copy on the comprehensive strategy. The outline is as follows:

• Accessible and Culturally Responsive Healthcare
  According to the strategy, the MOHES will establish culturally sensitive healthcare programs to address the specific needs of the Hosian and Ahmadi community and ensure translation and interpretation services are readily available in healthcare facilities. Additionally, there will be partnerships with community organizations and religious institutions to enhance healthcare delivery and accessibility.
• Rural Communities
  Construction of more healthcare centers and facilities albeit improving transportation infrastructure to facilitate transportation of rural community members to healthcare facilities. It will also offer incentives to healthcare professionals to serve in rural areas, including loan forgiveness programs and professional development opportunities.
• Women
  Promoting women's health and addressing gender-specific health issues. This provision will also encourage more women participating in healthcare decision-making processes and provide training and education opportunities for female healthcare professionals.
• The Disabled
  Upgrading and renovating healthcare centers to ensure accessibility for the disabled. It also include a partnership with disability rights organizations to advocate for the rights and inclusion of disabled individuals.
• Funding Health and Medical Breakthroughs
  This provision will bring together the MOHES and MOST to jointly establish a dedicated fund to support collaborative research projects between public researchers whereby they will collaborate with pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and medical manufacturers.
• Comprehensive review of the healthcare system
  The MOHES will conduct an assessment on healthcare delivery as well as identifying challenges and opportunities. The Ministry will also engage with stakeholders such as healthcare professionals, advocacy groups, community organizations, and representatives from minority communities. Hence, based on the findings, the Ministry will develop a set of actionable recommendations.

Additionally, the government will be increasing funding especially in research grants and scholarships which include partnerships with universities. The funds will prioritize research projects that have the potential to address major health challenges faced. Conclusively, a regulatory framework will be established to encourage innovation and at the same time ensuring patient safety and ethical standards.

The Ministry plans to implement the national health strategy for the next 6 to 10 years subject to the following factors such as funding availability, policy implementation, and external circumstances. The budget and overall cost of the strategy will be released at a later date pending a detailed assessment by the Ministry of Finance. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Health added that it will regularly review and update the timeline to ensure the effective execution of the national health strategy.

Weiss Administration prepares to realign Beiteynu's foreign policy
In light of the recent turmoils in relations with Rildanor, Badara, Trigunia and Luthori, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Medinat Department have put forward a comprehensive government overhaul initiative, seeking to refocus the country's foreign relations methods



Yishelem, Beiteynu - Earlier this morning, the Medinat Department made the details of the upcoming Weiss Policy Act public record, an initiative in the works since the Weiss Administration took the mantle of leadership in 5314, when it outlined the major points of the realignment. Similarly to the initiatives introduced by the Shlomo Administration in 5276, this recent realignment and refocus of Beiteynuese tactics in foreign relations is another "nail in the coffin" of the Tzafrir Policy, the foreign relations mandate pursued quite aggressively since Baruch Lea Tzafrir introduced it back in 5199. As the Knesset - and the 2 blocks of the Beiteynuese People's Hashmal - debates the details of certain articles pertaining to national legislature, one thing seems to be clear: the era of invasive, highly expansive and outright aggressive tactics and backchannel dealings also enforced by the Beiteynuese intelligence community is drawing to a close.

The Weiss Policy Act, expected to hit the Knesset floor for voting within the year, revolves around the formation of 2 new international agreements, far more simpler, controlled and balanced, also excluding any intelligence related provisos that the Medinat Department will only seek to include in direct partnerships and alliances with foreign nations, such as the existing agreement with Kundrati and the upcoming with Lourenne. "For far too long", Noah Kadiyot, the Head of the Medinat Department stated, "the Beiteynuese intelligence community has ran amok behind the curtain of our country's diplomatic, trade and other agreements with foreign nations", citing of course the existing Accords of Diplomacy, Trade and Partnership which have been in effect since the early 53rd century. "To ensure that no violations take place from our intelligence community - which we must not underestimate in reach, influence, expertise and breadth of knowledge after 100 years of extended and largely unchecked global operations - the Medinat Department will maintain an Office of Intelligence Oversight, which will work in conjunction with both the proposed Office of Homeland Affairs that will oversee and manage the affairs of the new agreements, as well as the MOJ's very own, and infamous for busting the Agency's scandals in the 90s, Intelligence Oversight Committee". The Weiss Policy Act also sees the establishment of the Office of Yeudi Heritage and the Office of Trade & Commerce under the Medinat Department, with the latter to coordinate directly with the MOFIN's Olami Trade Association.

The 2 new international agreements are set to replace the Accords of Diplomacy and Trade, dubbed the Beiteynuese Framework of Diplomacy & Friendship and the Beiteynuese Framework of Trade & Commerce, which, after being forwarded to governments across Terra for initial review, have received thus far overwhelming support by more than 13 nations, confirming the Ministry of Foreign Affair's speculations that the new agreements will play a pivotal role in enforcing the intended refocus and realignment of Beiteynuese foreign relations. In a shockingly drastic shift, the 2 agreements are focused only on the relations of signatory nations with Beiteynu, whereas the Beiteynuese Government will seek the ratification of similar agreements by foreign nations instead of pursuing its own framework, to be overseen and secured by the enforcement of appropriate continental offices under the Medinat Department (such as the Office of Artanian Affairs).

The Weiss Administration will also seek to introduce a couple of key legislative amendments, including but not limited to increased border control and the extension of the rights and benefits of foreign nationals when seeking employment, considering Beiteynu's extended trade network and active commercial scene with foreign nations. The proposed amendments have been met wih mixed feelings from the Beiteynuese people, as the Weiss Administration and the newly merged BPH seeks to strike a balance between internationalism and Yeudi heritage, both in government and in politics.

Beiteynuese Naval Command to expand presence in Istalia
The upcoming 2 part Naval Expansion Act will see the establishment of the Yamin (South) Fleet and its subsequent expansion in capability by 5330, much in the same manner of the Beiteynuese Command's recent undertakings in extending Beiteynu's military presence in Artania via Kundrati



Yishelem, Beiteynu - On a joint press conference yesterday afternoon by the Head of the Medinat Department and the Head of the Beiteynuese Command, the entity responsible for the management and oversight of the Beiteynuese Defence Force, both organisations confirmed that the Beiteynuese Government has reached a fruitful resolution in regards to the discussions with the government of Istalia towards extending the Alliance Agreement with the presence of naval forces by the Beiteynuese Naval Command in Istalia. The initiative will be followed by a 2 part Naval Expansion Act, which will issue new defense contracts for the purchase of new vessels from the Equifund and Lourenne, as well as undertake joint naval exercises on a 3 step plan - logistics, capability, operation - in integrating the Yamin Fleet under Istalian command. Much in the same manner as the agreement with Kundrati, the Yamin Fleet will be hosted in Istalian naval bases, will be subject to the Istalian command and will operate in a limited manner towards joint exercises and strategic patrols under explicit authorisation and validation by both the Istalian government and the Naval Chief of the Beiteynuese Naval Command in Yishelem. "The establishment of Beiteynuese military presence in Istalia", Noah Kadiyot, the Head of the Medinat Department stated, "comes in par with a) Beiteynu's overall realignment in its foreign relations under the Weiss Policy Act which seeks to focus more on bilateral relations with explicit partners instead of a one-sided conversation, b) the MOFA's agenda in extending its military relations with Istalia both on joint operations and research and development via the Equifund to fulfill the alliance's mandate of securing both ends of the continent and c) our undergoing efforts in partnering up with the Lourennais government, a discussion which has also included, amongst many other topics, a military alliance in securing the stability of the Seleyan continent and especially maritime trade in the southern seas".

This newest and 3rd Naval Expansion Act, although having been confirmed by the Beiteynuese Command of being limited in its nature relative to past efforts of the Beiteynuese Government in extending its naval forces and also drawn out in "doses" until 5330, is projected to strain the government's budget even further, with the MOFIN's multi-agency task force expressing concerns that the Beiteynuese Government is investing an ever increasing amount of debt in betting on the Lourennais and Seleyan strategic partnership agenda, which, of course, if successful, will represent a pivotal and explosive turn in Beiteynuese commerce.

Biraero executives meet with Dimont Aviation
Dimont Aviation, a giant in military aeronautics, presents the perfect opportunity for the Beiteynuese manufacturer to finally be able to amp up its production of military related aircraft and weapons systems, having struggled so far with both costs and expertise in research and development



Himmelshtern, Beiteynu - Although the Equifund manufacturer from Himmelshtern will continue to pursue the development and production of the innovative Lavi multirole jet fighter suited for the lighter climates of Majatra over the next decade "solo" with its exclusive partners from the consortium, despite the delays announced in 5312 due to low investor confidence thanks to the Trigunian crisis, the aeronautics developer has been exploring a potential partnership with Dimont Aviation from Lourenne, as diplomatic chatter on a tectonic alliance between Yishelem and Eroncourt amps up, which is rumoured to include military related provisos on joint partnerships on military equipment. Dimont Aviation is infamous for its Rafale series jet fighters, referred to as the "omnirole" aircraft of the Armed Forces of Lourenne, naturally attracting the interest of the Equifund and Biraero, as the latter seeks to make its design plans for 2 jet fighters a reality.

Dubbed the Kfir and Nesher, Biraero will explore joining forces with Dimont Aviation both on research and development and co-production, hoping that the 2 new additions to the Equifund's product line will fill the gap in military aviation, a gap that the industry has been severely suffering from, save but for the production of the EL/W-2085 multipurpose aircraft developed with AUDISS, which thanks to its specialisation, has fallen to limited demand. Should the partnership become a reality, the consortium will also invite the Lourennais developer to participate in the Olami Kleneshek Expo to access the Beiteynuese trade network.

Torah Interchange, a major junction of the Shofar highway where the accident occurred.

Tel Bira, Beiteynu - A devastating pile-up involving a staggering 35 vehicles left a trail of destruction along the Shofar highway, claiming the lives of 11 individuals including 3 children aged between 3 and 12. The accident occurred at the Torah Interchange, one of the busiest junctions of the highway. Eyewitness reports suggest that this terrible accident was triggered by a vehicle allegedly losing control, careening across lanes, and then flipping to the oncoming side. What followed was a massive pile-up, trapping motorists amidst the wreckage.

Emergency services were quick to respond to the scene and the interchange was sealed off completely and traffic was diverted allowing first responders to focus on rescue and recovery efforts. The police began its investigation into the accident and the driver allegedly responsible for the incident is in critical condition. Nevertheless, the Police Commissioner in a press conference added that the police are committed to uncovering the facts, emphasizing that all necessary resources have been devoted to "meticulously" examine the evidence. The Commissioner also pleaded with the public for patience and understanding and offered his sincere condolences to the victims and their families. Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Yaron Shai also expressed his condolences adding that the Weiss Administration will be implementing measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

This is one of the deadliest traffic collisions in the country's history however this occurred in a week whereby a total of 16 people were killed in different traffic incidents amidst a wave of serious crashes. The Beiteynuese government has not launched a road safety program and reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute suggest that this issue has been neglected, with the government focusing more on expanding its transportation infrastructure. "Investing in transportation infrastructure is undoubtedly important, but it should go hand in hand with robust road safety measures," an expert added.

"We totally need a national highway safety program and some serious enforcement to get people to change how they behave on the roads. Some of these things don't even cost much, but even if they did, it's totally worth it to save lives, don't you think?" a resident in Tel Bira added.

What happened during the National Health Summit?

Prime Minister Nathan Weiss opening the National Health Summit.

Yishelem, Beiteynu - The National Health Summit was convened at the country's capital last week on the 20th and 21st of October. The two-day summit was officially opened by Prime Minister Nathan Weiss where he emphasized the importance of collaboration and partnership with stakeholders, to ensure that the national health strategy set forth by the government is a success. He also highlighted the need to address healthcare disparities and improve healthcare in general across the country.

The summit was attended by many people which included representatives from healthcare professionals' associations, academia, advocacy groups, community organizations, civil societies, and minority communities. Participants engaged in constructive discussions where they shared their insights and recommendations in plenary sessions. These sessions covered thematic areas of the national health strategy which ranged from healthcare financing and improving healthcare infrastructure as well as human development health and education. Others included discussions on disparities in the lower and middle classes. These recommendations were later coined as "summit commitments" by the MOHES which will be submitted to the government for review.

Besides all that, a comprehensive framework was tabled during the discussions dubbed the "Framework for Equitable and Inclusive Healthcare Reform". The framework's main objectives were to improve health, strengthen human resources, foster public-private partnerships, address healthcare financing, and embrace digital transformation. This would be achieved through policy reforms, community engagements, research and innovation, health education, and literacy whilst maintaining a regulatory framework. This framework would ensure patient safety, and ethical standards whilst maintaining high-quality healthcare.

Some notable discussions from the summit were from the former Head of School for Health Policy and Management at the University of Endild who said that the Ministry of Health is working and doing its best, but it is not good enough, especially in the rural community. He added that the government should encourage private entities to construct healthcare facilities in rural areas by offering tax breaks and subsidies. "There should be an overall balance of responsibility," he said.

Regardless, the National Health Summit is seen as a bold move by the Weiss Administration as it attempts to fulfill all of its obligations and promises and move forward with a more centrist approach to governance since its inception in 5314.

Eroncourt and Yishelem form tectonic alliance
The new Beiteynuese - Lourennais Alliance Agreement is expected to reshape geopolitics in Seleya, as the 2 rising influencers across both ends shake hands on a comprehensive diplomatic, commercial, intelligence and military agreement



Yishelem, Beiteynu - Since 5301, both states recognised in each other a common strategic vision in their pursuit of regional stability and prosperity in Seleya, a continent largely marked by lack of both, especially in recent history. Haunted by its inability to provide a safe heaven for its private sector - despite its pursued investments in Likatonia in 5297 and the complete overhaul of Tukarali's digital government framework in 5313 - and the recent breakdown of relations in Rildanor since 5291, the Beiteynuese Government has sought for a way to establish a foothold of Yeudi diplomacy, trade and commerce for the better part of the 53rd century, much to no avail, as any uptick in relations since 5297 was deemed of such minuscule proportions, that it remained inconsequential in the grand scheme of affairs by the Medinat Department. The crack in Yishelem's relationship with Trigunia and the continent of Keris with the eventual dismantle of the Beiker Agreement after 5311 and the complete breakdown of the ambivalent relations with Luthori in 5314, were another 2 reminders for the Weiss Administration to expedite its partnership with Lourenne in broadening Beiteynu's trade network across another continent while also pursuing and, this time, following the leadership of another stable and mature regional influencer, paved by the enactment of the Weiss Policy Act last year. This newest alliance agreement marks Beiteynu's 4th ally, following Istalia, its historical partner since the early 53rd century, Kundrati, its closest economic and military partner to this date and Pontesi, its neighbourly deterrent in the Jelbek Peninsula. Government officials have speculated that Beiteynu might potentially act as a mediator in bringing its allies closer to each other, as the Lourennais government takes a peak across the western side of Seleya.

Although Eroncourt has already expressed its dislike of Luthori expansionism and frenzy of investments pursued in the continent of Seleya, Yishelem has not yet followed through, but has chosen to make its statements clear in the form of expanding Beiteynu's naval presence in Kundrati in 5315 and Istalia in 5316, especially with the latter's proximity to Seleya via the Sea of Lost Souls. "The Medinat Department has largely refrained from going rogue in Seleya", Noah Kadiyot, the Head of the Medinat Department stated earlier this morning, "as the State of Beiteynu has chosen to align itself in an ironclad manner with Lourenne, who we will follow in Seleyan leadership while also supporting them on all diplomatic, economic, intelligence and military affairs concerning the continent".

The Medinat Department released a statement echoing Louis Christiane's, the Lourennais Royal Minister of International Affairs, criticism of Luthori's recent wild dance in Seleyan affairs while also attempting to remind Fort-William that its unchecked audacity will continue to force Yishelem's hand.

The Prime Minister has made clear of his intentions and hopes to allow the Kingdom's economic market to flourish through increased trade and cooperation with Beiteynu. Weiss emphasized that as a leader of a centrist administration, he shares the vision with Lourenne to foster progressive policies not only at home but also abroad.

My visit to the United Kingdom will affirm the importance of Lourenne as a friend and a partner to Beiteynu in strategic areas of trade, defense, education, culture and even sports. I look forward in engaging with Chancellor de Marigny and her cabinet on this.

Nevertheless, Weiss and his delegation will also be making a trip down to the Beiteynuese Embassy where they are scheduled to meet with the Beiteynuese community.

"Not Thy Kingdom" theatre production takes a stab at Luthorian relations
Zachary Nielman's famous 4012 comedic work on the Kingdom of Yishelem, the era when the Holy Luthori Empire reigned over the Holy Land, has hit the Shteman Malevikot Theatre in Yishelem's artistic district of NamHaliyot



(Not Luthorian) Yishelem, Beiteynu - A modern take of Nielman's famous "Not Thy Kingdom" play has hit the Shteman Malevikot Theatre, inspired by the recent breakdown of Beiteynuese-Luthorian relations, with Director Tamariel Yakovit deciding to mix in a much needed humorous aspect in all the seriousness that has engulfed the country's foreign relations with its Artanian, ah, acquaintance. The slightly adjusted script of the author's original play - which takes place in that time of history, whereas Yakovit's story is set in modern Beiteynu - provides some nicely timed bittersweet and sarcastic taunts at the relationship, mixing in a few hilarious flashbacks and flash forwards around Luthori's claims on the Yeudi capital in a sort of doomsday vs utopian scenarios.

The story follows a modern Yeudi family in Yishelem that struggles to maintain its cohesion as the fiery 21 year old son decides to secretly join the Republican Armed Forces of Beiteynu, as the RAFB begins its siege of Yishelem, inspired by the actual incident that took place in 2865, when 20,000 soldiers entered the city, culminating into one of the most bloody and deadly battles in Beiteynuese history. As the RAFB begins the attack, the protagonist - the 21 year old son - is stuck in a time loop. The audience then follows the starry eyed young soldier into different scenarios, from the Yeudi forces reclaiming a chocolate hummus factory to the Emperor himself reigning down about the forces with a gloomy ring and a menacing enlarging mace and a dark mask/crown. The family is thrown heavily into the mix, with one scenario depicting the manifestation of Luthori's grandiose Empire in the form of the protagonist's 6 year old sister's broken china doll.

The production has thus far been met with great reviews, with the Head of the Medinat Department himself saying "it was marvellous".
