Studying the future of Russian-Israeli relations in light of global transformations since 2023 is one of the intertwined and complex topics, as it affects the structure and interactions of regional and international systems. Russian-Israeli relations have fluctuated since the establishment of the Russian Federation in 1991 until 2024, depending on global variables. The Russian military intervention in Crimea in 2014 and Syria in 2015 represents an event that changed the nature of relations between the two countries. This period witnessed an increase in military, security and intelligence coordination, especially in Syria, in addition to the convergence of views between the two parties on the issue of combating terrorism. However, this matter collided with a number of determinants, the most prominent of which revolved around the Russian position on the Palestinian issue, in addition to the influence of the Iranian and American variables, which affected, in one way or another, decision-makers in both countries.
The study concluded that the scene of the development of Russian-Israeli relations is the most likely in the immediate and short term, based on the common interests that have brought the two countries together relatively, especially in limiting Iranian influence in Syria, in addition to the cultural and societal rapprochement between Russia and Israel, given that most of the population of what is known today as the State of Israel are of Russian origin.
