Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett denies conspiracy theories linking Jeffrey Epstein to Mossad
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.
