Israeli intelligence sources reject claims Jeffrey Epstein was Mossad operative following document releases
Israeli intelligence sources have dismissed allegations that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad operative, countering recent claims linked to documents about his relationship with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Following the release of documents detailing the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, claims have resurfaced suggesting that Epstein was an operative for Israel's Mossad. However, Israeli intelligence officials have categorically rejected these allegations, describing them as baseless and inconsistent with the operational procedures of the agency. They emphasize that there is no evidence to support the assertion that Epstein worked for Mossad.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also stepped into the fray, vocally refuting the claims through social media, where he stated that the nature of Barak's relationship with Epstein contradicts the idea that Epstein was connected to Mossad. In his post, Netanyahu highlighted Barak's long-standing grievances regarding his political career and suggested that Barak has consistently attempted to undermine Israeli democracy.
This development comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of Epstein's connections to influential figures worldwide and raises questions about the implications of such relationships in the context of Israeli political dynamics. The forceful rejection of the claims by both intelligence sources and the Prime Minister may be an effort to prevent political damage and reinforce the integrity of national security institutions, especially in the wake of high-stakes media scrutiny.
