The troubles afflicting the Holy Land has escalated to unprecedented military tensions and threats by both sides, the Trilateral Commission and Nag Ehgoeg on one side and the Baghdad Pact on the other.

Privately the TC officials were concerned that a war over this matter was unwinnable and would certainly destroy the region's economy and balance of power, if not deestabilize or even destroy the entire world. Publically, the TC leadership did not want to be perceived as weak-willed and kowtowing to the Baghdad Pact's power and threats. Therefore the TC contributed to the tense situation by refusing to peacefully submitting to the UN and Paradise ultimatums. Nevertheless TC officials were still seeking a peaceful way out, but not one that would discredit themselves and their reputation.

In any case the Jerusalem Crisis may be the greatest threat to human civilization since the beginning of the human race. International peace groups were convinced that a battle of highly armed, highly militarized, and highly ideological Mid Eastern suporpowers would wipe out humanity. In Israel, at least, the TC has waged a war against pacifists and other elements viewed as demoralizing society. All major anti-war groups have been swiftly eradicated in a series of raids by secret police. It is believed thousands of peace activists have been arrested by TC police in the past few hours alone. Dozens are feared dead. Furthremore, there was a concern that Sunni Fundamentalists would assist the enemy if the war broke out between TC and Paradise. Therefore, in a series of raids, the Sunni minority has also been neutralized; all were forced into detention camps in the Sinai peninsul and given little food or shelter.

The nations involved have been making military preparations so far. The TC Pacific Fleet and Atlantic Fleets steamed toward the Mediteranean to join with the Mediterranean Fleet. Nuclear missile silos have been placed on highest alert. Martial law and a state of national mobilization has been declared for all citizens and soldiers.
