"Elmo says ALL JEWS SHOULD DIE. F**K JEWS. DONALD TRUMP IS NETANYAHU'S PUPPET BECAUSE HE IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. JEWS CONTROL THE WORLD AND NEED TO BE EXTERMINATED," read one of the posts.

The Trump administration has come under scrutiny in recent days after it stated that there was no Epstein "client list". During the presidential campaign trail, Mr Trump promised to release the complete Epstein files, including a sensational client list, containing names of high-profile celebrities that may have visited the infamous Epstein island for illegal activities. The fresh interest in the Epstein files comes in the backdrop of X CEO and former ally to Trump, Elon Musk, publicly accusing Mr Trump of being in the files. During a White House press conference, Mr Trump was asked about the Epstein client list but sidestepped the issue. Attorney General Pam Bondi also dismissed the matter. "He committed suicide," she said, while Mr Trump responded to a reporter with, "You still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?"

Iran Says No Decision Yet on Resumption of US Nuclear Talks
Iran and the US haven't agreed on a time, date or place to resume stalled negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday. Iran won't return to talks 'unless we're certain the negotiations will be effective,' Esmaeil Baghaei said in a televised press conference. His remarks follow a report from Iran's Fars News Agency over the weekend that President Masoud Pezeshkian sustained minor leg injuries in an Israeli strike on June 16, three days into the surprise campaign that scuttled five rounds of talks between Tehran and Washington. The attack targeted the entrances and exits of a building in western Tehran where the president was meeting with the heads of the judiciary and parliament, Fars said, adding that authorities are investigating whether the operation involved an intelligence breach. Over the weekend, Iran's Foreign Minister and lead negotiator Abbas Araghchi said the Islamic Republic is seeking guarantees against future attacks if talks resume, adding that the country has received 'some assurances.' Baghaei also said Monday that plans for talks with the UK, France and Germany were 'under review.' The three countries — signatories to the original nuclear deal abandoned by US President Donald Trump in 2018 — had been engaged in parallel discussions with Iran ahead of Israel's military strikes last month. Baghaei added that Russia and China have expressed readiness to play a role in resolving Iran's nuclear dispute, though he offered no further details. He also said assessments are ongoing to determine the extent of damage to the country's Fordow nuclear facility, which was struck by the US. Iranian officials had previously described the site as 'badly damaged.' This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Naftali Bennett slams Epstein-Mossad claims: Calls accusation ‘total lie', targets Tucker Carlson for anti-Israeli narrative
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has forcefully rejected claims that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. In a statement posted on X, Bennett called the accusations 'categorically and totally false' and directly targeted prominent figures like Tucker Carlson for spreading conspiracy theories. '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. — naftalibennett (@naftalibennett) Bennett's remarks came after Carlson, speaking at a Turning Point USA summit in Florida last week, suggested, without offering evidence, that Epstein might have worked for foreign intelligence services, likely Israeli. Carlson said, '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.' In his response, Bennett stressed that Epstein's criminal activities 'had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel.' He accused online personalities like Carlson of inventing such stories and fuelling a 'vicious wave of slander and lies' against Israel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Lifetime Office 365 Download Undo 'They just make things up, say it with confidence, and these lies stick because it's Israel,' Bennett said. Epstein, who died in 2019 under what US authorities ruled as suicide, remains the subject of widespread conspiracy theories, especially after recent public dissatisfaction with the lack of transparency in investigations surrounding his network. Bennett's statement marks one of the strongest denials from an Israeli leader on the long-running Epstein-Mossad theory.
