Relations between Russia and Israel have been good. After the collapsed of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the election of Vladimir Putin as the Russian President in 2000 (he was Prime Minister from 1999-2000 and from 2008-2012), Russia had developed good relations with Israel. Personally, Putin has had a close relationship with long-serving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Consider this: Out of a population of 9 million, it was estimated that 1.5 million Israelis were immigrants from the former Soviet Union. The Russian language is the third-most widely spoken language in Israel after Hebrew and Arabic. Presently, over 100,000 Israeli citizens still live in Russia with about 80,000 of them residing in Moscow.
Over there in Syria, due to the escalating civil war with the rebel forces, President Bashar al-Assad invited the Russian military to intervene in Syria back in September 2015. Since that year Netanyahu met with Putin nearly a dozen times to prevent harming their relationship as Syria is a nation hostile to Israel.
Then, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the situation turns unpleasant as Israel is on the side of the West in their support of Ukraine. In that year Yair Lapid was the Prime Minister of Israel for a short stint. However, the situation improved a little after the return of Netanyahu as Prime Minister. Unfortunately, the relationship became strained again during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. From then it rapidly deteriorated as Israel also back the opposition rebel forces that overthrew the regime of President Bashar al-Assad a week ago.
On December 16, 2024, Israel bombed a large storage facility holding Syrian-owned military weapons in the coastal town of Tartus which is also the home of a Russian naval facility leased from Syria. The Russians are angered by this. It can be said that Russia’s relations with Israel is reaching a crisis stage at this point. Needless to say, when Israel eventually launches an all-out war with Iran, who is a close ally of Russia, conditions will be ripe for Russia to invade Israel.
Russia Will Invade Israel
Over 2,500 years ago Jehovah God had informed the world that this event would take place. This invasion which we shall called “The Invasion of Gog” when it comes to pass will be the fulfillment of the Bible Book of Ezekiel Chapters 38 & 39.
As described in those two chapters, the leader of the Russian Federation (Gog) from the land of Magog (Russian Federation) located to the far north of Israel is the leader of a Confederacy of nations that will come against Israel. The Russian leader will be Putin (Prince of Rosh). He will lead the Confederacy of nations that would include Belarus & Kazakhstan (Meshech & Tubal), Iran (Persia), Ethiopia, Libya, Yemen (Gomer) and Turkey (Togarmah).
The invading armies will come against the land of Israel which Jehovah God calls it “My land.” At that time He Himself will defend Israel and execute judgment against the invaders who will all be destroyed, even with nuclear weapons (tactical nukes?). For seven months the Israelis will bury the dead invaders in a painstaking manner due to radiation contamination. And for seven years the abandoned implements of war of the invaders will be used as fuel by the Israelis.
Note: Before Russia invades Israel, Russia will first go to war with the United States. Refer to my article: The De-coupling of the US from Israel .
