Would Russia really get involved in a war against Israel? Note that in around 1972 Russia’s KGB initiated a covert campaign (Operation SIG) designed to incite hatred against Israel and USA particularly within the Islamic world. It involved extensive propaganda efforts and the use of Arab groups as proxies to carry out attacks and spread disinformation (note Iran!). Russia today claims to have good relations with Israel yet Russia strongly condemns Israel’s actions in Gaza, and also in 2025 made a significant strategic partnership agreement with Iran. Iran has provided Russia with weaponry especially drones for use in Ukraine, and Russia appears to have been supplying Iran with both munitions, and GPS data for their missiles. When Israel threatened to attack Iran’s major power plants, Russia warned Israel that they were off limits. Ultimately, prophecy itself aligns Russia with Iran (Persia). When Iran moves to attack and invade Israel (and they will), Russia will be one of those whom God draws with hooks in their jaws to join in the invasion.

Would Turkey actually join Iran in declaring war against Israel? Interestingly, Times of Israel reported on 25/06/2026 that Trump suggested this could be so. ““He was a prime candidate to go into the war with Iran — maybe on the Iran side, because he’s not a big fan of Israel,” Trump claimed.” Trump appeared to be offering Turkey the carrot of getting F-35 fighter planes. “Trump was also asked Wednesday whether he was preparing a major “gift bag” of weapons sales for Turkey ahead of an upcoming NATO summit there, including F-35 stealth fighters and dozens of jet engines. “I think so, look… I’m going to probably do something that’s going to make him very happy,” Trump said.” Turkey has also made it clear that it supports Israel’s terrorist enemies, especially in Gaza. Turkey has also become a significant location for hamas’s leadership, especially after some members were expelled from other countries like Qatar. 

If Iran were to invade Israel, it would need to have Israel’s defence systems neutralised. While Iran could have nuclear weapons soon, Russia could more easily target and neutralise Israel’s main defences, especially by using their alleged nuclear warheads on hypersonic ballistic missiles. (Iran has previously claimed (in 2024) that they know where all Israel’s nuclear compounds are located and have the capability to destroy them.)

Libya (listed in Ezekiel 38 as a nation that would be drawn into an invasion of Israel) is an ally of Russia. Russia began moving its military and naval resources there after Israel targeted many weapons sites in Syria following the Syrian government coup in December 2024. And Ethiopia (another enemy listed in Ezekiel 38) is currently trying to establish a seaport on the Red Sea, citing historical rights and economic necessity. This quest has raised concerns about potential regional conflicts with neighboring countries. The stage is set for a massive invasion of Israel especially after an expected USA pull-out of much of its forces in the middle-east.
