Russian philosopher and geopolitical theorist Alexander Dugin has issued a stark warning about what he describes as the “Zionist right-wing agenda” to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem as part of a broader plan to establish Greater Israel.
In a televised interview on the program “Russian Dimensions,” Dugin stated that what is unfolding in the region today is a “full-scale war between Israel and the Shia world”—for now, largely confined to the Shia sphere—but one that was ignited by Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Dugin cited Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who has been repeatedly filmed standing in front of Al-Aqsa Mosque making direct threats.
“Under certain conditions, he declared openly, the mosque could be blown up,” Dugin noted.
“There is always unrest surrounding it, and it’s located on what they call ‘Temple Mount,’ where the original temple supposedly stood.”
Al-Aqsa as a Strategic Target for Zionist Eschatology
According to Dugin, destroying Al-Aqsa is not a fantasy, but a step toward fulfilling the radical Israeli right’s vision of Greater Israel.
“This is part of a broader settler-colonial plan: to seize land, eliminate Palestinians, and rebuild a theocratic order aligned with religious Zionist ideology.”
He also warned of a false flag operation scenario, in which Israeli extremists detonate Al-Aqsa themselves, only to blame the explosion on an ‘accidental Iranian missile strike.’
“This is not beyond the realm of possibility. The recklessness of Zionist leadership knows no bounds,” Dugin said.
The Third Temple Narrative and Apocalyptic Zionism
Dugin linked these plans to messianic Zionist beliefs, citing the book “Torat HaMilchama” (The Torah of War) by Rabbi Yitzhak Shadri.
“Religious Zionist circles believe in building the Third Temple, but unlike classical Jewish theology—which says it will be rebuilt after the coming of the Messiah—they now claim to be the messiah themselves.
‘We will build it with our own hands,’ they say. ‘No need to wait.’”
This theological deviation, he warned, gives ideological cover for the most extreme forms of religious-nationalist violence, including attacks on Islamic holy sites.
Gaza Genocide and Global Shifts in Power
Reflecting on Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza, Dugin wrote in an article on Izborsk Club that the war is unfolding in a global context of collapsing unipolarity and rising multipolarity.
“This war comes as the world moves toward multipolar power dynamics, with U.S. dominance steadily declining. The implications will become even more pronounced if the conflict expands.”
Russia’s Dilemma: Choosing a Side
Dugin acknowledged the complexity of Russia’s position.
“It is difficult for Moscow, at least for now, to take a definitive stance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he said.
“There are positives and negatives in every approach. This isn’t a simple geopolitical equation.”
Yet his broader implication was clear: if Israel continues on its current trajectory—mixing religious extremism with military aggression and false flag provocations—it risks igniting a regional war with irreversible spiritual and political consequences.
