The foreign policy of modern countries nowadays often looks inconsistent. A very illustrative example of this are the relationships between Russia and Israel, which since recently have undergone serious and, in some way, even dramatic changes. They turned from friendly to truly gloomy and contradictory. The reason for this is the war developed by Russia in Ukraine, which changed the usual status quo of the interaction between Jerusalem and Moscow. The article examines in detail how this process evolved, what stages it went through and what are the possible consequences of this situation, which is not yet very predictable. Accordingly, the main question posed in the article is how the current war and other negative occurrences taking place within and around the Russian–Israeli relations can influence them in the future.
