Evangelical religious leader John Hagee, active in the US, has made a statement regarding international processes, asserting that current tensions bear similarities to events described in religious texts. According to him, the present situation is reminiscent of the scenario known as the "War of Gog and Magog."
As reported by the editorial staff, John Hagee claimed in his address that Russia, Iran, Turkey, and radical Islamist groups would unite against Israel. He stated that this alliance would be divinely directed towards Israeli territory, resulting in the destruction of a large portion of these forces.
The religious leader's statements have not been met with a uniform reception in the US and among the international community. Experts suggest that such declarations are made within the framework of religious rhetoric but could create additional concern against the backdrop of regional tensions. It is noted that the processes in the Middle East are explained by political and military factors, and religious prophecies do not reflect official positions.
