Former Israeli Prime Minister Says ‘With 100% Certainty’ Epstein Never Worked For Israel

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, fed up with the allegations being peddled that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had worked for the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, issued a statement condemning those who purveyed such a notion in a desire to harm the Jewish state.

The allegations that Epstein may have worked for the Mossad have been pushed openly by influencers on the Right, such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Charlie Kirk, among others. Carlson went so far as to imply that Israel was “committing crimes on our soil.”

“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 wrote on X. “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.”

The Wall Street Journal noted that Epstein had met numerous celebrities and politicians between 2013 and 2017, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, hard-core leftist and Israel-hater Noam Chomsky, Eva Andersson-Dubin, the wife of hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, leftist donor Reid Hoffman, filmmaker Woody Allen, Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen, former Treasury secretary and onetime Harvard University president Lawrence Summers, and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, the leader of the leftists in Israel opposed to Israeli prime minister Bibi Netanyahu.
