'''Relations between [[Sydalon]] and [[Yisrael]]''' have spanned over three centuries since the end of the [[First West Scipian War]] and the [[Proclamation of the Kingdom of Yisrael|founding of the modern Kingdom of Yisrael]]. Relations between the early {{wp|Crusader State}} Kingdom of Sydalon and earlier pre-royal Jewish realms date as far back to the 1230s during the [[Sydalon#Middle_ages|First Crusade]]. Both kingdoms [[Pan-nationalism in West Scipia|developed early and nascent nationalist visions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries]], and engaged in a series of wars known as the [[West Scipian Wars]] as well as a nearly 80-year-long [[West Scipian Cold War]]. Both nations took steps to settle a permanent peace in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in the 1973 [[Yarden Accords]], which stabilized centuries of conflicting geopolitical and historical claims. By the 1990s and into the early 2000s, most observers agree that Sydalon and Yisrael maintain warming, cordial relations.

Relations between Sydalon and Yisrael have spanned over three centuries since the end of the First West Scipian War and the founding of the modern Kingdom of Yisrael. Relations between the early Crusader State Kingdom of Sydalon and earlier pre-royal Jewish realms date as far back to the 1230s during the First Crusade. Both kingdoms developed early and nascent nationalist visions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and engaged in a series of wars known as the West Scipian Wars as well as a nearly 80-year-long West Scipian Contention. Both nations took steps to settle a permanent peace in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in the 1973 Yarden Accords, which stabilized centuries of conflicting geopolitical and historical claims. By the 1990s and into the early 2000s, most observers agreed that Sydalon and Yisrael maintained warming, cordial relations.

However, the 1973 Accords sparked a deep backlash in both countries that has simmered on the fringes of polite society for decades. In the early 2020s, these latent tensions erupted, revived by foreign policy moves and crises in the late 2010s such as the Gran Aligonian crisis (2019-present), Enyaman Civil War, and Onekawan Affair. In late 2021, a new government came to power in Sydalon's National Assembly, with leading voices in the new body including theo-socialists and the Patriot's Movement, widely regarded as a far-right antisemitic party. Both groups harshly criticized the foreign policy of President Yitzchok Katz, and in early 2022 passed a non-binding resolution calling for the "renegotiation" of the Yarden Accords, a non-starter for Yisrael. This caused the 2022 Sydalon diplomatic crisis. Sectarian violence erupted in the Yarden River Valley. This came to a head during the September Crisis in late 2022, when bilateral ties crashed as the Sydalene Queen formally called for a renegotiation of the Accords, a move that was rejected wholesale by the Katz administration. The Sydalene ambassador was expelled from Yisrael in reaction, and the Yisraeli ambassador recalled from Sydalon, signifying a deep diplomatic rebuke. Numerous foreign media speculated that a Fifth West Scipian War would erupt imminently, though both governments demurred on the likelihood of open conflict. Currently, bilateral ties are at their worst since the end of the Fourth West Scipian War in 1966.

Trade and economics

Law enforcement

Police agencies in both countries have little interaction or cooperation, but in 1991, both states signed a bilateral extradition treaty.

In 1978, Ostracine and Yerushalayim signed a counter-terrorism agreement, called the Sydalene-Yisraeli Treaty on Counter Terrorism, in reaction to the post-Yarden explosion in Christian and Jewish terrorist groups and acts within both nations.

Military and security

Militarized border

The Sydalon-Yisrael border is perhaps the most militarized frontier in the world, mostly straddling the Judean Mountains and the Yarden River as its known in Yisrael, or the Cultavida River as its known in Sydalon. All land border regions are fenced and patrolled except for the highest mountainous areas and maritime frontiers.

The Sydalene Defense Forces and Royal Yisraeli Defense Forces maintain a series of fortifications and permanent garrisons and bases along the border areas, though each has relaxed the amount of offensive forces within 50 miles of the border in the years after the 1973 Accords. This was reversed in 2022, when during the implementation of martial law in the Yarden River Valley in Yisrael, a number of RYDF units were moved to bases and entrenched positions closer to the Sydalene border.

Border controls and immigration

The kingdoms have three land border checkpoints accessible by motor vehicle, as well as a separate checkpoint for cross-border rail transport via the West Scipian Railway. There are dedicated customs and immigration checkpoints and spot inspections at the major seaports and airports in both countries.

According a Yarden Accords corollary agreement, both border security agencies participate in the Border Control Board, a confidence-building measure that created warmer cooperation between the two formerly hostile organizations.
