First of all, the strategic direction was general guidelines of what I want a Chief of Staff to be willing to accept. This is opposed to say hiring a Chief of Staff who is pacifist.
I'm also somewhat upset by the broad range of points you listed. We had discussed this with both Yaro and you, and it seemed to me all was done, except for who would be Defense Minister. The longer we debate, the longer it is until the game starts.
I'll address the points.
Ok with you as Defense minister. As for Front Commands, that is the Chief of Staff's responsibility, with input from us. However, we need not approve the final list. Anyway, Centre will be well represented in front commands, I believe you are already getting two fronts.
Explain how it's hawkish? It's link up the territory we have, capture East Jerusalem, defend the settlements, and use anything left over to take other cities.
You may propose a list, but tactical direction of the war is responsibility of the Chief of Staff, with input. As for adding targets requring 80% of the knesset, that is ridiculous. We are still debating this coalition, now we are adding more conditions? The military responds to our demands, but not everything they do can be voted on in the knesset. I can discuss specific cities, but it's not even specifically my duty, it is the Chief of Staff.
If you disprove of something, bring this up the Chief of Staff. If you feel are you are being ignored, bring it up to me. If you feel like I ignore you, then you can stay or leave in the coalition. But we musn't harmstring the military by voting on whether to take a city or not, it's ridiculous.
You do not control disposition of defenders, Chief of Staff does. And yes, you could build a ton of defenses, but remember we need military units, and not every city needs a city fortification if there is not much threat to it. Keep in mind also Econ Minister must approve rushbuys.
It's a little late to do that, and you are adding powers to the President he should not have. It's largely ceremonial, and the way you seemed to be seeking the post earlier, it seemed as though it would be included in coalition negotiation, not dealt with seperately. If you wanted to rewrite something like this so drastically, you should have done it a while ago, not now. I assumed since you would not take President, One Israel would appoint the President for it's largely ceremonial role. Do not overcomplicate this, people are already getting confused on the rules.
Econ Minister obviously gets the task of buying arms.
Defense Minister's responsibility, since he is deciding what to build. Since you are Defense Minister, you may decide to let your fellow Centre party member do the job, but do it effeciently.
This was already discussed, he's getting the front he wants, in addition to I believe Azazel as well.
And thanks for wishing me a happy holiday.
I'm willing to alter the strategic direction thread, since I don't consider it that important. My general idea is this
1. Support offensive action so all of our cities will be linked together, and not be seperated by Arab territory.
We need to relieve some of our far off settlements. While we should not defend these places at all costs, we should make attempts to open road routes so we can send reinforcements. Additionally, some of our larger towns in the Galilee are cut off by Arab towns.
2. Be willing to expand our defensive perimeter.
3. Maintain our control of West Jerusalem, and have a plan to allow access to the holy Old City once more by capture of East Jerusalem.
4. In addition to the above 3 reasons to capture Arab cities, be willing to capture or bribe Arab cities for the purposes of using their infrastructure to aid our economy and production.
5. Be mindful that in 5-6 turns, the British leave, and we must be prepared to resist the full fury of the Arab attack.
Obviously, this will involve coordinating with front commander, but the Chief of Staff will select front commanders, but be amendable to suggestions from above.

Here Are Some of My Thoughts on The Coalition:
1) I'll gladly be Defence Minister but since I am accepting the role of defence minister, I feel that I should be included in the choosing of Front commanders as a second opinion to the Chief of Staff.

2) Some of PinkyGen's war strategies are too hawkish. The Centre Party would like to suggest a list of targets which the IDF can attack for the safety of Israel. Any further targets that the military wishes to make would be left to a knesset vote which would need at least 80% to pass.

3) Most of my spending as Defence minister will be defensive which means city fortifications for all Israeli towns and appropriate defenders. No town should simply be abandoned.
