***MOVE 2***

[Jake Kratovil]

A classified memo leaked to the local press has begun to circulate the wider global networks. Within the memo, a collection of Israeli analysts, monitoring water levels along the Yarmuk River, have measured an alarming drop in its amount of water flowing down the border of Israel. The memo has drawn a definitive connection to Syria and Jordan’s use of the river, blaming them for violating a series of arrangements between the states and contributing directly to Israel’s current drought. The memo even goes as far as suggesting a conspiracy to weaken Israel through its reliance on the Yarmuk. Syria and Jordan have yet to respond.

Combined with the loss of the Nablus-Gilboa Aquifer, the number of people without water is skyrocketing in Israel. Without outside help of some kind, Israel cannot hope to provide the required amount of water needed.

This sounds like a classic attempt by the Israelis to place blame on the problem elsewhere, and Sudan is not buying one bit of it. One can only hope that Jordan and Syria will come forward to dispell this atrocious accusation.

[ethiopia]

Before pointing fingers, we would like to hear from Jordan and Syria. It is worth mentioning, though, that they do have a history of these kinds of shifty actions, and a healthy dose of hate for Israel to boot.

[Qatar1]

Qatar Believes that at this time it is a higher priority to focus on the humanitarian issue at hand and solve this water crisis diplomatically before yet another fight occurs in our volatile region

[turkeysbth]

Turkey would like to agree with Qatar on the issue of the civilians in that region. Perhaps a region wide relief effort should be put into motion? Also, it is important that we hear the other side of this argument from Syria and Jordan. Let's not be too hasty to cause more arguments before we understand, to the full extent, this problem.
