Palestine (Imperial Re-Uprising)

The Republic of Palestine (Arabic: جمهورية فلسطين, Hebrew: רפובליקת פלסטין) is a country located in West Asia.
When the U.S.A. collapsed after their failed war against Russia, Palestinian militants and nationalists wasted no time in what they call the "Day of Great Reconquest" ("يوم الاسترداد"), and also called on Russia to aid them, to which both Russian and Islamic forces aidded them. 
The Great Raid affected the Israeli elite, and the Russians re-distributed the wealth to the Palestinians, to help create what would, become the Armed Forces of Palestine. However, created a pan-Arab state in Palestine was not the goal of Russia, as Supreme Leader Chernov wanted Palestine to retain its status as a "holy land" of the three Abrahamic Faiths.
Chernov knew that he was dealing with a huge issue, as it would take much to quell nearly a century worth of hatred between Arabs and Jews. However, it wasn't as bad as he expected, and Chernov suspected that Zionism and Islamism were the key culprits of hate and division between Jews and Arabs.
Therefore, the Russians installed Abd-Manaf Samir bin Jamliyel as Palestine's first president, and Rebekah bat Abijah as Prime Minister.
== History ==
After the Russians consoldiated their control as one of the paramount superpowers of the world, they helped the Palestinians instigate the "End of Zionism" (نهاية الصهيونية) or the Second Palestinian Civil War. The Russians and Palestinians now had full control of the former Israel Defense Forces.
It wasn't neceassrily a war against Jews, only those loyal to the old Israeli regime. The Neturei Karta (נָטוֹרֵי קַרְתָּא) and Karaite Groups (קבוצת קראיטים) helped the Russians and Palestinians, on the condition that the Jewish-Palestinian community would be fully protected.
Joseph ben Toomas, a Neturei Karta leader gave a speech in Arabic, "We hope that the Russians and Arabs will target the Zionists, not the Jews, for it is the Zionists that made us hate each other, nothing of what they did came from the Torah. We are Palestinian Jews!"
One of the biggest issues that Chernov had to deal with was the fact that most Israeli Jews were Zionist, and most Arab Palestinians were Islamist. Islamists were actively killing anyone that was Jewish, therefore prompting Chernov to take the same measures against Islamism.
More depopulation occurred in Palestine as a result, with Chernov claiming that only the peaceful will inherit the land. In addition, Chernov ordered Islamic forces to leave Palestine, on fears that they would surely support Islamist militias.
Abd-Manaf Samir bin Jamliyel became the first President of the Republic of Palestine, with Rebekah bat Abijah as his Prime Minister, and the two would begin the rebuilding of Palestine. Despite flying a pan-Arab flag, Palestine was not a pan-Arab or neo-Islamic state like the Pax Islamica.
However, President bin Jamliyel did maintain strong links with Russia, the Pax Islamica, China, the Islamic Commonwealth, Indonesia and Germany. 
The Russians and Palesitnians both knew that the Zionists and Islamists would attempt to strike back, therefore, the Palestinian government in Jerusalem allowed Russia to remain heavily guarding the Holy Land.
The ensuing peace allowed Palestin'e population to grow back, to 11 million people. 
During the presidency of Demetrius Abdul-Qasim, Palestine began to join the space race, since the peace in Palestine was overpopulating the land. President Abdul-Qasim allowed Russia to build a space facility in Tal Abib, becoming the center of Palestine's "science and tech" city. However, like during the Israel days, it was dominated by Jewish Palestinians. 
The Space Forces of Palestine found the planet in the lonely star system similar, but smaller to the sun. Palestinian space explorations found rocky planets, filled with lots of gold, as well as one fertile and habitable planet.
