Former Israeli Prime Minister Addresses Claims Linking Jeffrey Epstein To Mossad

It has been long rumored Jeffrey Epstein had connections to intelligence communities.

Those rumors don’t pop out of thin air either.

Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. Attorney who oversaw Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, previously stated Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”

Epstein’s alleged connections to the Mossad comes as it has been reported and confirmed, the former Prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak, has publicly acknowledged visiting Jeffrey Epstein at his homes.

It doesn’t stop there.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s, Epstein’s former girlfriend who has since been convicted of sex trafficking, late father Robert Maxwell reportedly had connections to the Mossad.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has poured some cold water on the rumors Epstein had connections to the Mossad.

The New York Post more on Bennet’s latest statement on Epstein and his alleged Mossad connections:

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett vigorously refuted conspiracy theories peddled by Tucker Carlson and others that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein had ties to Mossad.

Bennett blasted the “vicious wave of slander and lies against” Israel and stressed that he is 100% certain that the powerful spy service didn’t work with Epstein on a blackmail ring.

“As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty: The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,” Bennett declared on X Monday.

The convicted sex offender, who was found dead in his prison cell back in 2019, has been subject to renewed speculation due to a MAGA world revolt against the Trump administration over an FBI and Justice Department memo that concluded he committed suicide and didn’t have a client list.

Last Friday, Carlson made waves at the Turning Point USA summit in Tampa Bay for alleging — without evidence — that Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence services.

“I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American. And we have every right to ask, on whose behalf was he working?” Carlson mused.

“Now, no one’s allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that’s naughty. There is nothing wrong with saying that,” he added.

Here’s Naftali Bennett’s full statement:

The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false.

Epstein’s conduct, both the criminal and the merely despicable, had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel.

Epstein never worked for the Mossad.

This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t.

They just make things up, say it with confidence and these lies stick, because it’s Israel.

There’s a vicious wave of slander and lies against my country and my people, and we just won’t take it anymore.

Tucker Carlson over the weekend made the claims Epstein had Mossad connections:

TUCKER: We’ve been cowed into thinking it’s off limits to ask. It’s not hateful. It’s not antisemitic. It’s a basic question. Did Mossad run a blackmail op through Epstein? Did our own government?

The Times of Israel shared these details on Tucker’s remarks:

Right-wing US pundit Tucker Carlson suggested that the late notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had been working for Israeli intelligence services throughout the years in which he was allegedly sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls, adding fuel to the fire that has re-erupted among conspiracy theorists in recent days around the disgraced financier.

Carlson, an ex-Fox News host and a conspiracy theorist, was speaking at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Friday when he turned to the matter of Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors.

Epstein’s life and death have made headlines again in recent days after US President Donald Trump’s administration decided to withhold records from the investigation and claimed that Epstein’s much-hyped “client list” had never existed in the first place.

That decision by the US Justice Department and FBI angered far-right conservative personalities and influential members of Trump’s base, who have long contended that so-called “deep state” actors were hiding information on Epstein’s elite associates.

Addressing the conservative conference, Carlson said that the real question that needed to be asked about Epstein was not “was Jeffrey Epstein a weirdo who was abusing girls?” but rather, “why was he doing this, on whose behalf, and where was the money coming from?”
