- Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett slams rumors that Epstein worked for Mossad, calling them “categorically and totally false.”
- Conspiracies reignited after DOJ reaffirmed Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse suicide and lack of a “client list.”
- Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon speculate about intel ties, but Bennett fires back: “They just make things up.”
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett isn’t having it with the Epstein-Mossad rumors. On Monday, Bennett took to X and blasted what he called a “vicious wave of slander and lies against” Israel, calling the conspiracy theories flat-out false.
“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.
The renewed chatter comes after the DOJ released a memo last week concluding Epstein committed suicide in 2019 and never kept a “client list,” despite years of speculation. But that didn’t stop broadcaster Tucker Carlson from stirring the pot at the TPUSA summit in Tampa, alleging Epstein worked with foreign intel.
“I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American,” Carlson said, adding, “No one’s allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that’s naughty.”
Steve Bannon piled on, asking, “Is there some interconnection between Saudi intel, MI6, Mossad, CIA?”
Bennett fired back, saying, “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.”
