Secret IC to leaders of USA, UK, Australia, France, all EU Members, Russia, All ALN members, South Korea, Japan, Spain, Norway, Italy, Greece:
From PM Ehud Olmert

"Greeting oh nations of the world. I would like to invite each of you personally to a summit in Tel Aviv next Friday evening. Please come personally, instead of sending a diplomat, it is of utmost importance that we speak as soon as possible. We hope you will attend, as we must speak on a matter of some urgency.

Thank you,
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel"

To: Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
From: Prime Minister Aramaki

I shall be there. I have much news to bring to our allies about a new type of defense. A technology that should push Australia and her allies to the top of the technological market and defensive market respectfully. Shall I bring documents related to these matters in addition to current updates?

To Prime Minister Aramaki
From PM Ehud Olmert

Thank you for making clear that you will attend. We are honored that you will. Yes, you may bring the plans, though they will likely be of secondary importance. This summit has been planned by Israel for one purpose only... which we will make clear when you arrive. All we can tell Australia at the moment is that it concerns peace in the Middle East.

To: Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
From: Prime Minister Aramaki

Very well. Our goal is to provide our allies with support and we shall do this. Even though we are not in a military pact with Israel we shall fulfill every need our allies deem nessessary to keep peace in the world.

The Republic of France will attend.

The CBSS looks forward to this summit and will be in attendance

The Ambassador to Israel will be attending this meeting. The Prime Minister sends his regrets that he cannot be there in person, but he has other prearranged meetings that cannot be deferred.

To UK
From Israel

Very well... but please make sure the ambassador holds your belief system and will make decisions just like you would have.

OOC: I have a feeling your ambassador's going to be on the cell phone a lot.

OOC: Can Aramaki head to the summit now, by airplane?

This ambassador has the full support of our gov't.

Prime Minister Aramaki is expected to arrive at the Israeli Airport, he gets off the plane carrying what appears to be an extremely heavy briefcase.

"Heh. Back to Israel again, who would have expected it would be this early. Wonderful day for diplomacy, Alex." he said noting his aide behind him.

The man behind him smirked and fixed his blonde hair which could hardly be considered perfect. The man seemed fun loving and quite the opposite of Aramaki.

President Victor Alexandru arrives slightly after PM Aramaki.
His private 727 lands and parks near the terminal.
The pair of Mig 21 Lancers that were flying with him land soon after and make their way to the hangar to refuel.
Stepping onto the stair the President (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f50/dvader12/victor.jpg) blinks,

"The what a beautiful day. Far less snow here then there was when left home" he chuckles.

Putting his glasses on he walks down the stairs of the plane proceeded by his security detail and looks about for a car to take him to the summit.

Mexico will attend

double...

Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos will be attending the conference in Tel Aviv.

[OOC: I'll just assume he arrived when the conference begins.]

The Secretary of State of the US will attend this summit. President Clinton said that she would have liked to come herself but was very busy and she said that PM Olmert had just met with her in a summit.

Our President Vladimir Putin says he will attend the summit.

OOC: I only invited Russia... I did not invite Ethiopia or Kurdistan.

OOC: I only invited Russia... I did not invite Ethiopia or Kurdistan.
OOC: Oh...I'll change that then. I thought you invited everyone...Move along. Nothing to see here.

To: Prime Minister of Israel
From: The Office of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

The Prime Minister is greatly honored that he would be invited to such an important summit, and while he is presently otherwise engaged, we have been directed to inform you that he will gladly accept your gracious invitation.

Sincerely,
Sayaka Konda
Aid to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

President Thabo Mbeki read the message that had been given to him by the ambassador to Israel. Israel was holding a conference and South Africa had not been invited? Surely there was some mistake. South Africa and Israel had been great friends, sharing military technology together. Perhaps a hint to the Israeli PM might change his mind...

OOC: This was a secret message... it has been kept very much under the radar... only my cabinet and the cabinet of the nations I have contacted know of this message... no embassy officials were informed.

In other words... you could not possibly know of this meeting... unless you had a spy in my cabinet... and then... how would you ambassador be the first to know?

A lot of luxury airplanes, presidents, ambassadors, guards all arriving at once is bound to raise some eyebrows, so all I know is that something's going down, and South Africa isn't invited

o.O!?

An aide handed PM Ehud Olmert a list of the delegates/leaders that had stated their wish to come so far.

"hmm... we have some important countries coming. I'm glad so many have agreed to come so far."

He looked down at the list:

Australia
CBSS
France
UK
Russia
Poland
Japan
United States
Mexico
Spain
Denmark

From: Denmark
To: Israel

In the interest of peace and furthering understanding between nations, PM Jacob Andersen will attend this meeting in person.

Unfortunately, due to the coup in Madrid Mr. Moratinos will be returning to Spain. In his stead, Phillip VI has issued Don Argrigento de la Mañana, new Baron de Cuenca [recent nobility].

Seeing as other affairs detain President Villepin [ehhh...], he has sent a notable administration officer, Alain Porrot. He is expected to be arriving shortly.

"Ehud, we have most of the leaders here now. We should begin right away."

Ehud stood and rubbed his forehead. This was a moment of truth.

"Very well, have them all meet in the conference room, I will be in there shortly."

"Yes sir."

The aide walked into a room with a long mahogany table, and comfortable office chairs on each side. She took her seat near the head of the table, beside the seat intended for Ehud. She was nearly as tense as him.

She looked up to see the guards ushering the leaders in. They were only being allowed to come in one group (country) at a time, meaning a leader and an aide. That way they could be screened thoroughly for a listening device. Ehud was taking no chances on someone bugging this room. It had already been swept for bugs four or five times this morning.

The aide watched as the leaders took their assigned chairs. Each leader had a specific seat. Ehud was being very careful how he did this.

The Prime Minister Olmert would be here any moment.

OOC:

Ya'll can give your reaction to the screening and RP entering the room. The walls are bare except one overhead projector on the end near Ehud and a sheet that is projected onto.

Seeing the apparent reluctance of the rest of the leaders to enter the room, President Alexandru stepped up to enter first. Stepping into the security room he looked surprised. "What is this? do you expect me to act as some common spy?"
He sighed as the scanners passed over him. "he's clean Sir" reported the orderly.

"this had better be worth it" he thought. "scanning world leaders, I doubt everybody will accept that."
"Well?" he barked at the attendant, "Where is my seat?"

"Here sir" reported the attendant.
"Good. If possable could I also get a glass of water? Thank you" muttered the President. He sat down in his chair and waited for the other leaders to enter, wondering how they would treat the reception.

The aide watched the CBSS grumble as he took his seat. She felt he deserved an explanation.

"Sorry for all the security sir. It is not that we do not trust you, but it is very possible that someone could have slipped a bug on you without you even knowing it. That jacket you wear has pockets. We can't take any chances."

The aide leaned in towards the man and said in a hushed voice, "Israel is a dangerous place in the world. It is of the utmost importance that we keep you and your colleagues safe."

She leaned back again and said louder, "Again, I apologize for the inconvenience."

While it seemed somewhat odd to be searched, the danish PM and his aide were not particularly worried. Instead, it confirmed that this meeting had indeed been declared important from the start and the amount of care taken to protect both the visitors and themselves was a clear indicator of their seriousness.

The Danish Prime Minister did not seem disgruntled at the extra security and took his seat, waiting for the meeting to start.

While certainly not happy about being screened, Prime Minister Abe was certainly impressed with the thorough security, and made an appropriate gesture of approval to the attendants. The level of security was certainly a sign that this could prove to be an interesting conference, and he smiled inwardly as he was ushered to his seat.

The PM of Poland was very irked by the security and was definately going to make a note of that when he speaks to the PM of Israel. He sat down away from the other world leaders. He was new to his job, many of these were veterans, he planned to watch and observe the others. He would be silent. For now.


:cool:

Monsieur Porrot arrived rather late, considering Villepin's indecisiveness in sending him. The convoy immediately rushed him to the conference, where he passed through numerous security examinations. Aie...these people haven't lost their taste for security, I guess... he thought as he finally got through the mass of guards. He walked through the halls casually, noting the elegance of the plain facades. As he entered the room, he saw that he had not actually arrived late, with a small number of other dignitaries present. The room was a stark contrast to the hall, with an almost boring white wall, no windows, and a projector. PM Olmert was no where in sight, but it seemed obvious that he should arrive after everyone else had settled into place. The Israeli soldier brought him to a seat, next to the Russian and British seats.

OOC: Still need UK, US, and Russia to show before I begin... they are most important to this meeting.

To - Prime Minister of Israel
From - Sheikh Abdul Rahman of Al Khalidha

We will not be attending your summit.

You are not a part of this RP... sorry. please sign up before you post in here.

Aramaki entered into the Summit and sat down, waiting for it to begin and then he began listening to the conversations between representives.

Miguel Moratinos was slightly disturbed by the Israeli security, failing to understand what security threats foreign diplomats posed to this conference. But he didn't pass it through his mind for long, he was more interested in meeting some of the people that had come to attend, and especially in understanding Israeli politics, as well as those of other nations. Spain, save for Italy, had decided to take up politics that would bar foreign intervention in Africa, especially against the Australians. In fact, Madrid had already pinpointed Somalia as an area of future operations should time allow. But first, Moratinos would have to figure out the true intentions behind all these men.

Ehud could hear the rustle of the men in the next room.

He spoke, "Eli, peak your head in and tell me whether or not delegates of the major countries are here."

Eli looked in, and turned back to his leader. "Only The United States, Russian, Mexican, and British leaders are missing sir."

"Good. We will start when the leaders from the first two you mentioned arrive."

President Alexandru looked around the room and grimaced. "shouldnt have worn the dress suit" He thought "it rubs against my neck horrably and I still have yet to see any signs of refreshments"

He managed a smile as he looked around again and spoke to his neighbor (/ooc who's sitting near me?) "Well, it certanly is barren in here, I trust your flight was un-eventful?" He extended his hand to his neighbor.

Porrot was getting a little lonely before his cell phone began to bother. He calmly stepped out of the room and answered his wife's ailing cries.

"Les legumes! Je vous en prie, achetez les legumes!"

"Bien sur, ma femme. Je le range ce soir, avant de mon retour. Et ma chere, pourriez-vous ne pas me telephoner pendant qu'on rencontre; je me trouve en Israel, et c'est un peu trop bizarre quand vous me derangez..."

"Bien sur! Mais n'oublies pas les legumes! Le chef ne peut pas faire la cuisine..."

"Bien, alors! Je le range, je le range... Adieu..."

He returned to the room, slightly embarrassed at the house duty call. But then again, no one else seemed to care...

OOC: Here's the seating arrangements:

Conference Room (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/iwjoceanbreeze/summit.gif)

edit: lol... the beauty of google translate! :p

Weary of standing alone, Gornacoff thought it was better to start searching for a friend. He soon noticed another dignatary off alone as well. He approached him and stuck out his hand and introduced himself. He learned that this very man was the PM of France. They talked about the conference and began talking about life as an international leader.....

FYI, the PM of France is in Paris...

Aramaki looked towards the Israeli Prime Minster and said, "What is the nature of this meeting? Have we not been paticent enough?"

Aramaki looked towards the Israeli Prime Minster and said, "What is the nature of this meeting? Have we not been paticent enough?"

OOC: Ehud isn't even in the room, I'll assume that you have asked his aide instead... who is at the moment present.

Ehud will enter when the US and Russian leaders arrive.

IC:

The aide pointed a finger at herself, "You talking with me?"

She sighed, "Thank you very much for your patience. I can assure you that it will pay off, and every moment will benefit the world.

I cannot tell you the exact reason for this meeting quite yet, but I can inform you that it has to do with peace and security here in the Middle East, as well as the recent pact between Israel and UAE. I can assure you it is of the utmost importance.

As of this moment, only me, the President, (Israel has both a President and PM) and Ehud Olmert alone... only us three... know of the exact nature of this meeting.

When the US and Russian leaders arrive, Ehud will explain everything."

OOC: I guess I will come. Put me next to Poland.

PM Algirdas Mykolas Brazauskas had just taken a flight from Lithuania. He had a little faigue, but he was use to it. After this meeting he would go to Djibouti to check on the progess. With PM Brazauskas were one guard. They drove off to the meeting. The guard waited outside and PM Brazauskas went threw the security room and sat down at his chair next to Poland. He looked at the Australian President. Then he thought

"That bastard invaded Somaila then wanted to start a war with us in Djibouti."

OOC: Seriously....haven't we waited long enough though?

OOC: Seriously....haven't we waited long enough though?

OOC: I'm with you... I'd like to get this going... but it is absolutely important that Russia and the US arrive.

OOC: I'm with you... I'd like to get this going... but it is absolutely important that Russia and the US arrive.

Can you at least tell us OOCly what it will be about!?

OOC: lol... getting anxious aren't you...

OOCly... look at my N/D... post #67, and you'll see a small glimpse of what this is about.

President Alexandru looks down at his watch. "might I ask what is taking so long? I understand that they are the 2 most powerful nations in the world, but is that any excuse for them to keep us waiting like this?"

President Alexandru looks down at his watch. "might I ask what is taking so long? I understand that they are the 2 most powerful nations in the world, but is that any excuse for them to keep us waiting like this?"

OOC: Technically the timetable for this small summit is different. If they don't post for three days, it could be like 10 minutes in the actual RP. Be patient, Sel and Taxes will post.

OOC: Just pretend the US came, don't do much with it though.

IC: Putin was uneasy about being scanned and new that anything could happen in Russia relating to bug technology. He walked through the scanner and BEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEP! "Oh God," he thought and took off his jacket and waved it through the scanner and there was no beep. He waved it again and there was no beep. He handed the jacket to his aide and walked through again. BEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEP! He calmly patted his pockets and remembered KGB tactics for finding a bug. He felt a slight bump on his collar and lifted it up and there was a small chip. He handed it to the security guard and walked through the scanner, which remained silent. His aide walked through to silence as well. Putin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I offer my security task force be combined with yours(Israel) to investigate this. I deal with this stuff all the time. Just last month, I found a gassing device under my bed that would have killed me. It's all part of being president of a country that used to track every citizen."

OOC: Someone had to have a bug and it made perfect sense for Putin to have the bug for the reasons he said.

OOC: Excellent... it's cool at least someone had a bug. And yes, it does make sense that Putin would have it.

I will start without the US. We'll pretend he is here and being very quiet. When Taxes shows up then he can just be here.

Finally we can get down to business.

__________

1700 hours

IC: In the conference room, the aide turned to President Putin and the other guests. "See, that is why we have the security we do. It is an important function. If we had not caught that bug, someone would have listened in."

Back in the next door room, Ehud scratched his head. Eli poked his head through the door and saw the Russian leader arrive. "Sir, everyone's here now except the leader from the UK."

"Very well, we will begin now."

Ehud stood and raked his hands through his hair once. He sighed deep. This is for all the marbles...

Ehud walked into the room with the other leaders... he remained standing.

"Hello friends, I'm glad to see you have all come." he looked around the room at some familiar faces, and some not, but all friendly. "I was beginning to worry some of you wouldn't."

Ehud shifted uncomfortably.

"Sirs, I know you are all very important men, and you all have a lot to do, but I know that your time spent here today will be worth it."

Ehud grabbed a remote control from the table and turned halfway to the projector. He hit a button and the projector became active.

"I'm sorry for all of the security, but it is of the utmost importance that NO ONE outside of the men and women in this room know what we speak about. The world actually has no idea that you all arrived. And as of 1600 hours, you were the last people to enter the country before this:"

Ehud showed the news video of how the Israelis shut down the border (See my N/D thread, post #73)

"Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I did not shut down the border to keep you all here, you are free to leave when you wish. I shut down the border to keep out the enemy, and keep in the Israelis."

Ehud sat in his chair now and swung to face the other leaders.

"Sirs, I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. It has been a long week here in Israel. These are dangerous times. You will notice," Ehud waved his hands at the far walls, "that this room has no window. I chose to do the summit here because just last week a sniper took a shot at me... I was only saved by kneeling over to pick up a paper I had dropped."

Ehud sighed.

"Sirs, I want to show you why you are here. Two years ago, Israel signed a protection pact with the UAE, bringing peace to the Middle East. Well sirs, the UAE have gone against the treaty, and absorbed the Palestinians. We can only guess what they plan to do next."

He hit button on the remote again, and the projector once again came to life.

"Here is the other problem my nation has.... watch this close, this is the reason you are here. This is a very disturbing video."

Ehud hit a button and the screen lit up. It was a picture of thousands and thousands of Israelis near the Western Wall. They roared towards the wall, trying to get up to the Dome of the Rock. A few hundred of the Israeli police held the massive crowd at bay.

The video had sound, and each of the leaders at the table could easily hear the unmistakable chant of the crowd. They kept saying the same thing over and over, louder and louder!! People with shovels and picks rushed at the dome, and the guards which stood in their way were beaten badly. The video zoomed in to show a bloodied police officer, who had a massive gash in his head. He threw a tear bomb into the middle of the crowd.

Ehud spoke again.

"What they are saying my friends, is 'Tear Down the Rock'. This has been going on for the last 6 days. That is why I brought you to Tel Aviv instead of my capital, it is useless to try and get anything done in Jerusalem, because the chant is so loud."

The PM turned off the projector.

"There is not much to say sirs. You know why I have brought you here... or now you mostly do. I will not be able to hold the civilians off for much longer. 34 peace keeping police officers were killed yesterday alone, just trying to hold them at bay. At the same time, hundreds of citizens have been killed. I have even moved in a portion of the military, and they have taken significant losses as well.

All is chaos my friends... and it is a result of the our possession of East Jerusalem. You see, we are planning on building the Third Temple on that Mount, and our citizens believe that there is no room, while the Rock remains there.

While there IS room, they refuse to believe it, and if they succeed in getting past my guard, they will tear down the Dome of the rock brick by brick with their bare hands.

Leaders of the world, I told you these were dire circumstances. I shut down the border because I fear that a Palestinian would enter the Dome of the Rock only to get slaughtered on one of the altars by one of the our citizens. This is a bad situation."

Ehud certainly looked grave, and he looked around the room and saw the others looked serious as well.

"But, I have solution friends. You were brought here under absolute secrecy, and only your family knows that you have gone. We have been especially careful not to leak anything to the media of this summit. When you planes landed in Tel Aviv, you landed in an out of the way place, and even then we jammed the area so your plane could not be detected by electronics.

The Muslim world does not know of this meeting. I must ask you all to continue to keep them unaware that we ever met here today.

The solution to this dilemma is simple. We have a choice. I cannot defend the holy Muslim shrine forever.

The choice is this: We must either move the dome of the rock to a safe place, or it will be destroyed.

It's as simple as that my friends. I hate to put it so bluntly, but I am doing all I can now to keep them away from what I consider to be an Infidel's temple. As long as that building remains in Jerusalem, there will not be peace in the Middle East.

I ask this. I ask that Israel be allowed to move the Dome of the Rock, using expert technology and taking fine care of it, to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The explanation that we will offer to the world is "Move it to Mecca, or it is destroyed." which is the truth..."

Ehud closed his eyes and thought, then flipped them open and looked around once more.

"Friends, I fear the wrath of the Muslim world. What I plan to do is in their best interests, and it will preserve their precious temple, but they will view it as a great evil. I fear that the Islamic Federation and OPEC nations will declare war on Israel when we try to move the dome of the rock.

There are only two ways, to change their minds. First, we have to threaten that if we are attacked, the dome will be destroyed in transit. And second, I need the support of all of you." Ehud motioned with his arms to the leaders. "If you all support our action, and give us military defense in case of attack, we have nothing to fear. If we can pull this off my friends, peace will be restored to the Middle East."

Ehud glanced at Vladimir Putin and then slowly one at a time at each of the other delegates.

"All I ask is for your approval and protection."

Ehud dipped his head, and then raised it. "Any thoughts, reactions, questions?"

you brought us all here to help you move some religous rock???thats all Gornacoff could think of. He wouldnt say what was on his mind but he knew that if Poland helped, there may be casualties, and they would die for no reason to the Polish people.
"the Republic of Poland could not help you. This does not effect us, if we did help you, we would have to get something out of it. will we get something?

"the Republic of Poland could not help you. This does not effect us, if we did help you, we would have to get something out of it. will we get something?

Ehud turned to the Polish leader.

"What would you get out of it? Isn't that obvious? You would get peace! The Middle East has been filled with blood over these last 50 years... but this would end the struggle once and for all... and bring the world peace!

Personally, I would think that Poland would desire peace above all... seeing how if we do not act quickly, and we are not given help, it would be out of my hands. My police can only do so much. If we do not make a decisive move within the next few hours, the dome could be destroyed no matter how much we try to avoid it. That could easily plunge the world into war. Is that what you desire?

All I can offer, is Middle East peace. All I ask, is approval and support. I wouldn't expect you to send thousands of troops over to protect us Gornacoff, but I do ask that you support us warmly in trying to establish peace here."

Sitting next to Poland, Denmark decided to speak next.

"I do not see how this will achieve peace" the danish PM began "As far as I can see, you are advocating forcibly moving a holy site, in order to prevent its destruction. Yet, what I also see is that it risks being destroyed because of your actions. Perhaps you should consider not building a third temple, rather than moving the dome of the rock?"

OOC: This is going to stir up the hornets nest but oh well

IC: The Italian representative to this summit stepped of his Airforce A300 Airliner in the warm tan of the Mediterranean Sun and walked down the ladder to the waiting vehicles.

ooc: what does that have to do with anything spizania? im confused

Don Agrigento de la Mañana rolled his eyes. This entire world had turned childish. de la Mañana blasted the Israeli, "Do you even understand the importance of the Dome of the Rock? There will be absolutely no chance for peace in this region should you make this move, and you yourself express fears about such a thing being true. In fact, in your entire speech you managed to contradict yourself. You explain your quest for peace, yet you worry that the Islamic Federation will declare war on you should you move the Dome of the Rock. I fear that you misunderstand the purpose of the Dome. The Dome will not carry out the same function in Mecca - all you will do is insult the Arab world. The Dome is built on the theoritical location of Mohammad's ascendency to Jerusalem. I, as much as you, don't believe in all that bullshit, but the Arabs do, and that is the purpose of the Dome. To move it you are moving the Arab's most holysite, and you are stereotyping them by basically saying 'your only holy site should be Mecca'."

He did not stop the tongue lashing there, and he continued. Oh, how he hated both the Arabs and Jews alike - semitics were no different from each other, no matter what religion they professed [OOC: Not my real life view...being 1/4 Semetic and all]. He pressed on, "Your people are idiots. Destroy the wailing wall, and destroy the Dome of the Rock. But don't just target your Arab population. If you had any sense you would also work towards the creation of a more prosperous Palestinian state, but Israel seems as if all its education went down the drain. It's obvious enough that I oppose any plan concerning the Dome of the Rock, and should the Islamic Federation strike you will receive no help from Spain in your endeavours to protect your country."

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe winced under the massive verbal onslaught unleashed by his Israeli counterpart's proposal. While he understood the man's position, he was, like many of the other national leaders, apalled by this proposal. However, he had every intention of providing a voice of reason here, and as Don Agrigento's tirade dissipated, it was his turn to speak.

"The Japanese people have only two desires in this region right now. The first, of course, is an uninterrupted supply of oil, so desparately needed by our country." He left out the "for now" that came to mind, and continued on. "We also wish to promote and support peace. Our people have a long memory, and no better than many what can happen when people lose themselves to emotion and let violence erupt. And to that end, while we would support the intentions of this initiative, the method is another matter entirely. As some of our more vocal members have pointed out, this will do nothing less than offend the entire Arab world and galvanize them into action against Israel. This would not just be seen as an insult, but as a sign of weakness based on the reasoning behind this. Thus, Israel's enemies, both open and seething, will see this as not just a reason for war, but an opportunity for victory." He paused briefly to let all that he'd said sink in, and continued. "Moreover, if you cannot keep your own people from acting on feelings of hatred, there is not, and can not, be a true path to peace. So long as the hatred exists and is acted upon, people will inevitably fall down the path to violence and destruction. If the situation is as bad as you say, than perhaps it is fate that wills you towards yet another confrontation. While it pains me to say so, I, for one, see no possibility of genuine peace if your people are already acting like this, and cannot be calmed with reason."

OOC: Macabees... please do a little research before you make claims, the Dome is the Muslim's 3rd holiest site, not their most holy...

IC:

Ehud stared through the Spanish leader, "You are entitled to your opinion sir, but you should not attack my descent. I made no reference belittling Spanish people (though there is plenty of things to say about them), so your personal attacks are irrelavant to this matter. I respect your opinion."

He turned to the Japanese leader, "You make a good point. I have already taken what you have spoken on into this matter."

Ehud sighed.

"How many times must I say this. There is no other way. Either we deal with this problem now, and preserve a holy site, or we let it be destroyed. There is no other alternative.

I agree that peace will certainly be disrupted for a time... but eventually the Muslims will cool off, especially as they get to have their little holy temple in their most holy city. However, I do know that as long as that Dome is on the Mount, there can never be peace. Why destroy our only hope at peace by leaving it there?!

But I do not think any of you realize the truth here. The Temple Mount and the Dome are only the third most holy site in Islam, while the Mount is the number one holy spot in Judiasm. Why should the Muslims be allowed to retain all three sites, while we have none? Answer me honestly and tell me if that is fair, especially when the site is actually part of our own territory!!!

Are there any further comments?"

"Moving it will only cause great insult, but why not just create a religious utopia on those sites, in which no state exists. Surely that would be easier and more accepted!" said Aramaki, surprisingly serious dispite his sarcasitic response.

"I agree with Mr. Aramaki. The zone should be declared neutral and no one owns the land." stated PM Brazauskas.

OOC: Thanks lol.

IC:

"If we should commit to this it would be a religious site in which all existing alliances and matters are null and void. If this is to be a holy land then no barriers on people shall exist, no tolls or taxes on people in this area. It will be a religious territory in which no state or people shall feud over it, as the sites are seperate and although close together no one will risk destroying or harming anothers religious sites."

Ehud shook his head violently (OOC: really hard).

"We would never give up the Temple Mount, after we have worked so hard to retain it. That was the largest part of our bargain with the UAE: that we would retain this mount.

This idea of making it a universal religious center and neutral is appalling to me. It must be held for the Israeli people only."

Ehud turned to President Putin and the French delegate, "You have been thus far quiet, what do you have to say about all this?"

___________

OOC: As long as your delegate isn't out buying vegetables Naktan... :p

OOC:Aramaki won't be happy with France likely, or Spain...or with Israel cause they won't hold it...should I wait fro Naktan to say?

"You are still planning to build a third temple, correct? I find that such a move is what really is causing this anger, not the existence of the dome of the rock. I therefore suggest that you do not build a third temple until the israeli people are ready." The danish PM had still seen no argument that convinced him that Israel was actually working towards peace.

OOC:Aramaki won't be happy with France likely, or Spain...or with Israel cause they won't hold it...should I wait fro Naktan to say?

OOC: Wait for Naktan.

Putin sighed and suggested: "Perhaps you should institute martial law and have soldiers keep the mobs away. If they need to fire, so be it. We have had to kill our own citizens, albeit by accident(Moscow theatre incident), to stop terrorism. Many bad things are going on in the world and it seems little can bedone to stop it. If we can stabilize one thing, we can concentrate on the others. Therefore, I again suggest you order martial law and enforce it strictly."

"Martial law is so strict, who would be one to dictate rights and the military for the religious sites if no nation has ties to them?" said Aramaki, cooly.

President Alexandru looks up from deep thought "No matter which way you go with this, its going to irratate the arab world. Perhaps give them the choice. Allow us to move the dome of rock to a place where it would be safe, or it will be destroyed. While this may irratate them greatly it would put the choice in their hands. Either this or what President Putin said and declare martial law."

"Thank you all for your input... it is most helpful."

Ehud glanced at his watch.

"I think we shall take the suggestion of the our friend here from the CBSS. We shall give an ultimatum to the Arab world. It will cause a little unrest, but surely it will be best in the long run.

But gentlemen, do we have your assurances that if we are attacked as a result of all this, that you will aid us?"

ooc: so all in all you asked us here because the Israeli people are trying to tear down a muslim holy site so you can build a holy site of your own? is that the jist of it?

OOC: that would be the simplified version at least.


IC:
Japan will support peace, and those who promote it. If the path taken is deemed to be one of a peaceful nation, than we will support it as best we can. However, we would be hindered by our reliance on Arab oil, and can therefore provide little more than token support at best. I wish this were not the case, but economics have a habit of undermining even the noblest of ideals.

ooc: so all in all you asked us here because the Israeli people are trying to tear down a muslim holy site so you can build a holy site of your own? is that the jist of it?

OOC:Ya moving the holy site...which is not exactly a popular idea lol!

After a moment with his aide, the danish PM addressed the Israeli summit "We do not feel that it is in the best interest of peace to carry out this action. Therefore, Denmark cannot offer its assistance to Israel."

ooc: keyboard being annoying, won't be able to write more.Sorry.

"Russia will support peace as Japan will."

"Australia supports peace, but would prefer to see Israel sacrifice some land to the cause."

Poland sadly must agree with the others. Unless we get something out of it(not just "peace"). Poland is deeply sorry for Israel and if there was some other plan we would support you.

OOC: Do I have to take this crap IC in the other threads and have a meeting here?! This is getting out of hand and I haven't seen anything about half the nations declaring war.

OOC: what are you talking about Asbena? what you said seems to have nothing to do with what we are talking about.

OOC: what are you talking about Asbena? what you said seems to have nothing to do with what we are talking about.
OOC: About some 4 nations declaring war and attacking me >.> While my guy is in a peace meaning....supposively with those same nations.

i read about that. read my post in the main 21c thread

OOC: This meeting happened before the whole Djibouti conflict. Remember that two things that are months apart in-game can be only hours apart RL.

Okay.

"I guarantee that in the long run... this will provide peace.

Sacrifice some land? What do you mean sir?

As for what you can get out of it... I will personally assure you that all Israeli tariffs on imports and exports will be lowered between our countries. In addition, we will give every nation that assists us... the production rights to our new Lockheed F-16I 'Fighting Falcon (http://www.iaf.org.il/Templates/Aircraft/Aircraft.IN.aspx?lang=EN&lobbyID=69&folderID=78&docfolderID=645&docID=21805&currentPageNumber=6), which in our language is called the Sufa. It is an excellent jet, and could very well be worth your time.

Finally, you will gain peace.

I assume you are helping us then, Russia, Japan?"

After a long silence [and the memory of his wife's demands], Porrot finally stood up and addressed the crowd, to the surprise of many in the room.

"It has long been the opinion of the Republic of France that this Temple Mount site - where three of the world's greatest religions converge - this would become a problem. In our time, it has been more a problem in the recent age, with Judaism and Islam conflicting on the property. During the Suez Crisis, there was a battalion of engineers ready to demolish the Dome itself, although the operation was later canceled because the Israeli government didn't reply to our request.

"At this time, the Israeli government makes a wonderful suggestion that has the potential to relieve some of the tensions between the two worlds of Judaism and Islam - seeing as the Christian religion has lost its legitimacy over the years. France is willing to support this move, to protect a most holy site of the Muslims and promote a sense of peace about the issue. Of course, that is our opinion... We are aware of a great number of Muslims who oppose this, and thus I personally feel that we - as secular nations on the most part - should not be discussing these matters of religion and holy sites. This should have been a discussion with Israeli and their Muslim neighbors, to gain their consent to move a holy site. We - as secular governments - have no right to say or not sat whether these things should be, since it is not even our religion."

He paused as a number of leaders in the room seemed a bit unnerved. "If Israel gains the support of the Muslims, we will whole-heartedly support this move; otherwise, this meeting will have been in vain." And he sat down, waiting for a cool response, although he was uncertain whether the response would indeed be cool.

Ehud stood.

"Thank you sir, your answer has great wisdom."

Ehud walked to the door. he turned back just before exiting.

"I ask that each of you remain here... I will give an ultimatum to the Muslim world, they must make the decision. Once it comes in, I will return here and give you the answer. You can talk over the problem amongst yourself while we wait.

I will give them 2 hours to respond... if they do not, we will have to make a decision ourselves."

_____________

OOC: I'll give Muslim players 1 RL day to make a decision. I will make a new thread and post the link here.

[OOC: OH YEAH? LEAVE US IN THE ROOM WILL YOU? WE'RE STUCK IN ISRAEL WHILE YOU ASK THE MUSLIM POPULATION? THIS ROOM IS TOO STUFFY AND HOT; FRANCE DEMANDS AC!!! STAT!!! :D haha]

OOC: You're stuck.... :p

President Alexandru stands up. "while i do not approve of .. locking us in the nation essensially while the message is sent, I would like to say that the CBSS will aid in moving the Dome if that is what the muslum world chooses. We are close allies with some Muslum states and would like to keep this area of the world as peaceful as possable. Thus, if this aides peace at least in the long run, then we will help"

/ooc the fighter plane tech doesnt hurt either..

"if you would not mind, could you send a message to my pilots that are here waiting for me to ensure that they are fully fueled? as soon as the message from the muslum world comes back I would like to return home, I have matters of state to attend to."

The Israeli aide responded to the CBSS leader, and in turn to all the leaders.

"We have already informed your pilots to begin preparing your planes for flight."

The polish pM responds to this latest remark, we would help, but we would have to be given another way to deal with this.

The aide looked down at her watch, then spoke with the delegates and leaders, "There is only fifteen minutes left. Hopefully they will give us a reasonable answer, and this meeting will have not been in vain."

She stood and walked over to the French ambassador. "Sir, I know a bit of French and caught a little of your conversation on the phone. Sorry if I am out of place, but I would like to tell you that we have excellent vegetables down at our market. If you want, I will send some men to pick some up for you... hmm?"

____________

OOC: Three RL hours left.

45 minutes later... Ehud walked into the room.

The aide stared at him as he entered, "Your late by 30 minutes... what's going on?"

Ehud looked like he had aged 10 years in the last 45 minutes. He turned and glanced at the aide, then turned to the rest of the table.

"Friends, we have recieved a response. Saudi Arabia made no official response for the world, so we were forced to accept Pakistan's and India's. the dome of the rock is in the process of beginning to move, and I have been working closely with the company that is moving it, to ensure the workers saftey at this time."

He walked up to the edge of the table, and fell into his chair.

"Friends, we have recieved several threats from much of the Muslim world, and we are prepared to defend ourselves. Our programs are advanced, our borders are closed to all to keep out terrorists, and we are ready to take the brunt of any attack. We shall make it clear that any attempt to disrupt this plan may result in the indirect destruction of the Dome... which will be on their heads if such a thing happens."

Ehud pushed a button to show them the official response of Pakistan on the projector.

"If we are attacked, our vengence will be swift, they will stand no match. If they think they stand any more chance than those in teh Six Day War did, they don't. I will have you know my friends, that the Israeli military has been working round the clock for the past 4 years to prepare for this day. We shall defend ourselves, and the Dome, if need be.

The Dome will be heavily guarded as it moves to Mecca. If Saudi Arabia refuses to let us cross the border to safely place the Dome, we will drop it in the desert and let them deal with it themselves.

Australia has already voiced their military support if the need arises... for this they shall recieve the fighter production rights, and decreased tariffs. Are there any others here which wish to help us in such a way.

Besides that my friends, there is nothing left to report. Your planes are ready, you may, and should, leave soon..."

President Alexandru looks over at the now exausted Israeli PM. "Now that you mention it.. The CBSS will aide Israel in this move. We are hesitant as we share a border with Turkey but something of this importance goes with its own risks. This is lucky in a way as we do have a pair of new ships that we were looking to field test. If you would like we can send naval assistance to your country, as well as ground troops if needed."

If you would like we can send naval assistance to your country, as well as ground troops if needed."

"They are needed and welcomed... thank you for your support."

The President of the CBSS rises and walks to the door. "We hope that this does not cause a war in the middle east. Such a thing would be disasterous to the world, both economicaly and religiously. I will now take my leave, I have a nation to inform and a defense to plan should our friendship with Turkey turn sour because of what we have done here."

The President proceeds to leave the summit and boards his plane. The pilots wait for the fighter escort to get airborne before taking off.

On board the plane the president takes his seat in his presidental chair. He is heard muttering "Whatever comes of this, I hope we did the right thing. Let us not have just started World War 3."

We have been moved by what you have said. We have a fast reaction force of 200 men waiting at a airbase in the south of poland. We also have a number of fighters on patrol at this moment. We will fuel them in midair and deploy all the soldiers at once to Tel Aviv. If we are permitted?

"They will be permitted. Thank you for your support."

Porrot almost laughed. He softly spoke to Ehud: "If you are being attacked, that must mean that the Muslims do not agree. Even so, I will not say if France would support this, seeing as I must return to Paris and consult with the Ministers and Parlement before we can officially decide to support or not. I cannot guarantee that we would support this if Israel could not conjure the needed support to move the Dome, especially considering that Saudi Arabia remained silent about this matter. Since that is your preferred location of relocation, you must gain consent from their government to transplant the Dome there, or otherwise what then? Where will you move it? It belongs in Makkah, with the holy sites regarded by Islam; eithere that or where it stands inn Jerusalem."

Porrot then stood up and walked a little as Ehud looked on. "I do not think France would support Israel if this incident turned to war, but we shall see." Thereafter, he left.

"thankyou for your kindness prime minister, if you will excuse me. i need to make an encrypted call to the base"with that, he was led by his aide out and was taken to the communications room setup for their use

Our fighters are coming into Israeli airspace, where would you like us to land?

"You may land in Tel Aviv."

so is this forum closed?

OOC: Not necassarily... you can still RP the leaving of your leaders.
