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.
