United Medinat COO states "foul government play" in recent investigation
November 5437

Yishelem, Beiteynu - Shortly after the detainment of a Customer Experience Specialist on counts of "suspicious" wire transfers to individuals in Aldegar, the legal machine of United Medinat - 1 of the 2 biggest Beiteynuese airliners - jumped in with appeals and counter-motions to dismiss the case on grounds of "foul government play". The company's Chief Operating Officer made the following statement earlier this morning:

United Medinat is one of the most international airliners in Terra, at present, with multiple subsidiaries and a great number of regional and local flights that originate and operate between other countries. Our company's operations extend Beiteynuese borders and Majatran reach.

It is completely irrational to initiate an investigation after singling out 1 wire transfer out of the thousands our company makes, including in Aldegar.

Should the motion to dismiss the case fail the courts, the company will move towards a counter suit to Agafim, for abuse of power and possible punitive damages, as the COO states how "preliminary commentary" by investigators leaking on Radio Beiteynu has "hurt the pristine image of the airliner".

Agafim releases United Medinat employee, citing lack of evidence
December 5437 (backdated) - After nearly 4 months of questioning and investigation, Agafim stated there is currently insufficient evidence to press charges against the airline employee.
Also published on The Terran Times and distributed internationally

Yishelem, Beiteynu - The Interior Security Bureau (Agafim) today announced that they have released the United Medinat employee previously held for questioning in regard to "suspicious" wire transfers to Aldegar in 5434. The now named customer experience specialist Sharah Johanson was taken into custody in August of this year on allegations of "orchestrating" a 1.5 million BEI wire transfer to an individual named Benyamin Nassour in Aldegar. The transfer as previously reported also included an unusually high 150,000 BEI operational fee.

The details and names were announced in a press conference this morning by a spokesperson for Agafim. The spokesperson added that there was insufficient evidence to press charges against the airline employee, hence the release.

While the circumstances surrounding the 5434 transfer were questionable, our investigation concluded that there was not enough proof of criminal wrongdoing in this case.

While declining to provide specific details of the "criminal wrongdoing" on grounds of confidentiality, especially during the months-long interrogation of Ms. Johanson, the spokesperson said she "fully cooperated with investigators and explained the purpose of the wire transfer in question." The questioning mostly centered around potential connections between United Medinat Airlines and the 5434 crash of YSH-RMZ Flight 237 in Aldegar which killed 228 people, mostly Beiteynuese citizens. No international investigation was conducted due to the growing crisis in the central Seleyan country. Nevertheless, speculations and rumours persisted that the crash may have been intentional.

Now with Aldegar return to political stability, sources at the Rose Administration say the crash may warrant another international probe, especially if new evidence surfaces regarding the circumstances of the downed flight. United Medinat Airlines has previously slammed the investigation as "foul government play" regarding the questioning of its employee. It is unclear however, whether the company will move forward with its countersuit against Agafim for damages.

Yishelem, Beiteynu - Closing in on 200 years since one of the most devastating loses in Beiteynuese military history, Meleh Elias Ishmael IV paid tribute to the graves of the 3.500 fallen soldiers during the Kundrati Emergency. The graveyard was purposefully created just for the occasion on the northwestern outskirts of the city overlooking Mt. Bermon (slightly away from the city), as a symbol of the soldiers's deployment in foreign lands for the protection of Yeudish friends.

A rather morose King made the following quick statement on site:

A terrible thing...truly. I cannot properly express my sadness. But, the sacrifices we make for Yeudis and their friends are a worthy honour.

Navy introduces new structure for Moledet Fleets in Himmelshtern
December 5438



Himmelshtern, Beiteynu - Following up on the navy's investments in Himmelshtern since 5430 and in line with both the Agresiv Difens Policy of 5418 and Yishelem's overall policy of calling Beiteynuese allies to protect the Yeudi Homeland, the Beiteynuese Naval Command announced yesterday afternoon the introduction of Moledet (Homeland) Fleets into the navy's command and structure.

The new formation will include the already deployed Second Royal Fleet of Lourenne previously assigned to the Lekavot (Hope) Fleet; also set to welcome Kundrati forces once again, as the Medinat Dpt. observes a "peace of mind" in regards to the Migrant's Pass and Kundrati's upcoming ratification of JAMS. Largely marked as a "diplomatic deterrent", the stationing of foreign fleets by Beiteynu's allies in Himmelshtern is also aimed at providing an "access pass" to non-Majatran states to effectively work and coordinate better with the MSCO, which has enjoyed extensive docking rights in Beiteynu for decades. The BNC commented that details on Kundrati's Moledet Fleet deployment will be released directly by Kasaema in the foreseeable future.

As such, ratifiers of JAMS will also receive docking rights in the Himmelshtern Beacon of Hope, the island north of the city, which effectively overlooks the Migrant's Pass to the east, as an attempt to further solidify military cooperation in a region of massive interest to Beiteynu for more than 250 years, now.

With MSCO, JAMS and Lourenne passing and docking, the city of Himmelshtern is set to be the biggest hotspot of international fleets in Terra.

Leaked MOD memo confirms existence of Yeudicho ICBM with Sato
December 5438

Amshinov, Beiteynu - Although it has been widely known that Sato, the notorious Equifund manufacturer of the Shavit rocket, has continously received grants by the MOD's Department of Defence Contracts for the development of anti-ballistic and ballistic missile systems specifically focused around the tactical capabilities of the Equifund's jet fighters and military aircrafts, the company's executives have mostly maintained a position of "evident difficulty" in research and development aimed at extending the theatre short-range LORA line launched in 5399 with KDC from Kundrati, citing a "lack of funding justification".

Simply put, there's no "theatre" of war.

But, apparently, the Bloody Coup of Kafuristan and the Badaran Civil War at the onset of the century did in fact change the Beiteynuese Government's priorities on intermediary and even intercontinental tactical capability.

Although the exact specs of the equipment remain unclear - the MOD, Kohav, Sato and Black Beisa all have declined to comment - a leaked memo highlighting ample details and signatures on a 25 year agreement issued to Sato and Black Beisa confirms the existence of a defence contract revolving around the development of a missile system referenced as the Yeudicho; the contract, filed whimsically under the generic clause of "weapons systems".

In reaching out to key Equifund experts, the Equifund Hadashot attempted to paint a picture of the ballistic missile's capabilities; surmising that its range extends to all of Majatra, Artania and parts of Seleya, Macon and eastern Dovani and Vascania.

However, the contents of its warhead remain unclear, although one high-ranking official from the MOD did cough up "conventional weaponry".

PM Rose comments on recent affairs
The Rosh Ha'memshala expressed himself on several issues.
January 5439

- Yishelem Mayor says crime rate is down in every neighborhood, but estimates say white-collar crimes remain high.
- Is hating chocohummus an hate crime? - Op Ed from the Editorial Board


Prime Minister Riki Rose is in office since 5421.

YISHELEM, ENDILD - The Rosh Ha'memshala of the Homeland State of Beiteynu, Mr. Riki Rose, explained in a Tuesday evening press conference his position on several issues, starting from the fact that he was shocked upon reading the leaked MOD memo that hints that the Homeland State has paid money to develop nuclear weapons within the borders of our nation.
Speaking directly to his party members, the Mifelegett Ha'avodah, which notably has a strong pacifist base, PM Riki Rose said that 'under my watch, there won't be such destructive weapons developed in the Homeland State', but some members of the youth wing of the MH still express anger about the fact that their Party, having controlled the Office of the Prime Minister for decades, wasn't able to discover this act earlier - calling on him to request Minister Patrick Jacobstone's resignation. On this issue, Rose assured the Beiteynuese people:

I can honestly say that Patrick was shocked as me upon hearing this... He is not responsible and there won't be resignations, as we're working together to end immediately this practice.

PM Rose also said that he would welcome, in the next years, international observers to certify that no nuclear weapons are developed in the Homeland State of Beiteynu.

The PM then turned his focus on two other issues, the J.A.M.S. treaty and the controversy between Agafim and the United Medinat, saying, about the latter, that Agafim has 'every right to perform investigations as they deem rightful', citing that the death of hundreds of Beiteynuese nationals back in August 5434, was a 'dark day for our nation' and that he remembers that day as 'the worst in my PM tenure', adding, for these reasons, that those who oppose or obstruct an investigation are 'unpatriotic people'.
About the hot issue of JAMS, fruit of years of negotiations and aspirations of a continental-wide cooperation in Artania with Majatra, Rose said that he 'greatly commends' the Kundrati National Assembly for ratifying the treaty, following the example set by Narikenland & Darnussia, Malivia and Dundorf - highlighting how this treaty would 'finally puts an end' to controversies and conflicts around the Migrant's Pass.

Signs of recession on the horizon; Olami Menayot takes another tumble
September 5439



Tel Bira, Beiteynu - The Olami Menayot (Stock Exchange) in Tel Bira is expected to report one of the worst financial quarters in recent history as the financial industry's leader, Ashalon Bank BEIFG, takes yet another hit in light of both the Dankukian GISE Index plummetting earlier this year, as well as the yet another ripple effect observed in the Lourennais EESE shortly after. Both markets have represented strong Beiteynuese trade partners for more than 150 years.

Ashalon Bank BEIFG's close quarters with and extensive endeavours in Dankuk together with Kundrati's Tomasadyn National is closely associated with the fact that the global Yeudish bank relies heavily on the LFR and Lourennais capital since 5345.

This latest tide of turmoil is projected to further impact the Beiteynuese economy and the Yeudish Neset (Network), following the initial stagnation and confidence shock observed at the beginning of the decade by the closure of the Aldegar Canal and the follow-up reaction by the EESE immediately after. As credit lines dip, international capital withdraws and the financial industry's investment wallet is zipped and tied, the effects of economic stagnation are expected to "turn the numbers red" in economic growth and further block any expansion plans, as the Yeudish Neset shrinks in its outreach.

MOD assuages concerns over development of nuclear weaponry
September 5439

Global headlines from the Ezrah (Citizen):

- Kundrati's Sladek-Lavarte Systems awarded contract with Beiteynuese companies Kadenite and Sato on sattelite and rocket technology
- Upcoming Aldegarian elections expected to further "rock the boat" in regional tensions



Yishelem, Beiteynu - Following the abrupt release of a leaked MOD memo by the Equifund Hadashot last year confirming the existence of an ICBM dubbed the "Yeudicho", the international community quickly rallied in weariness and frustration on the potential of Yeudish nuclear weapons, with Eroncourt giving the Beiteynuese Government a "hard slap on the face" almost immediately after. Dolgava's condemnation a month later seemed to tip the scales in terms of pressure to the Ministry of Defence, which initially declined to comment on the news of the leaked memo.

Sources close to the Kundrati ambassador in Yishelem have cited Kasaema's displeasure over the leaked memo, although on the other hand, Fort William seems to maintain a policy of no comment on the topic. Although the Rosh HaMemshala's address at the beginning of the year did offer some level of confidence that the Beiteynuese Government was not in fact developing nuclear weaponry, the existence of the ICBM itself seems to present contradictory viewpoints.

MOD Patrick Jacobstone finally called a press conference this morning to address the matter:

We can confirm the existence of an intercontinental ballistic missile. It is within our sovereign rights to develop and maintain any conventional methods to secure and protect the Yeudi People across a volatile world that seems to display a demeanour of "selective hearing", again and again.

However, the Homeland State of Beiteynu does in no way maintain nor develop nuclear weaponry.

Let me be clear: we neither make nor have any nukes in Beiteynu.

High-ranking sources in the Medinat Dpt. "pursed their lips" in regards to the Lourennais warning as "slightly distasteful", however, when asked about the "fiery" remarks issued by Deltaria on the matter, they simply shrugged them off as "political rhetoric".

Minister of Infrastructure and Transports, Zahava Semon

YISHELEM, ENDILD - The Party Electoral Committee of the MH relesead early on Friday the results of yesterday's Leadership election, called by outgoing Leader Riki Rose who decided to not seek re-election in the Knesset come December, effectively ending his 19 year rule as Prime Minister of the Homeland State. The internal contest comes in a time of great division in MH: the recent revelation to the public of the existence of a ICMBs program has made the Radical Left in the party to jump up on the offensive against the more moderate wing, which instead has, and will continue to, back the program. This conflictual climate has made the Leadership contest a race between two contestants, each representing one of the two wings of the Party, who conducted a bitter, but overall respectful, campaign to become the Leader of Beiteynu's largest party.

The candidates were Minister Zahava Semon, a moderate and the incumbent Minister for Infrastructure and Transports, facing against Ms. Gaya Sharett, a one-term Knesset member and rising star in MH's Left Wing, who discuted mainly about their vision on Military/Diplomatic issues, registering the maximum discord, but also themes like the war on poverty and corruption, where there was much more agreement. Semon, endorsed by Riki Rose, banked on her experience and standing in Yishelem as an asset to help the advancement of MH platform, whereas Ms. Sharett said her being far from the power sysstem makes her the most uncompromising and ideologically pure candidate.
The results of the contest saw a convincing victory by Minister Semon, who will become MH's new Leader in July, but also Ms. Sharett's candidacy was notable, as she got 38% of the votes as a relatively unknown and radical politician, sign that there are many voices on the Left of the MH that want to be haerd. As a sign of reconciliation, Zahava Semon pledged to appoint Ms. Sharett in a Ministerial position should MH remain in Government.

Mifelegett Ha'avodah Leadership Election - 100% counted
- Zahava Semon: 977.218 - 61.7% (Elected)
- Gaya Sharett: 605.970 - 38.3%
