Note: this topic is addressed in the following videos –> What is the Daniel 11:22 War? and The Daniel 11:22 War
Daniel 11:21 says the Antichrist is an outsider who intervenes in Syria and becomes the country’s ruler, or at least the power behind the throne. Israel and many other nations will not approve. Daniel 11:22 describes a massive military force from many nations that will come against this foreign usurper in Syria. This is known as the Daniel 11:22 War and it will be a big victory for the Antichrist. The military force will include Israel, because a “prince of the covenant” is going to be swept away. That’s probably a reference to an Israeli ruler or general. The other nations will likely be from the Middle East and North Africa. Most nations in the world today that haven’t recognized Israel are in the Middle East and North Africa. Well, when the Antichrist defeats Israel and these other nations, Daniel 11:23 states that they will make a deal with him. Daniel 9:27 says that an important part of that deal is the international recognition of Israel as a state.
