Did they really believe Israel would be socialist?

Why was there an ideological change away from Lenin's anti-zionist position?

I read that the USSR's position was that Israel and/or Palestine shouldn't be subject to a trusteeship, because it would put the people of the region at the whim of the west in an exploitative and fragile partnership, and the USSR only agreed to a trusteeship because it was in the best position to do so.
