In response to the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents by the US Justice Department, India's government has dismissed an email referencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2017 visit to Israel. The email, written by Epstein, made unsubstantiated claims about Modi's actions during the trip and their connection to the US president. India's Ministry of External Affairs acknowledged Modi's official visit to Israel in July 2017. However, the ministry strongly condemned Epstein's characterization of the visit as baseless and contemptible. The US Justice Department released millions of pages of material related to Epstein, including videos and images.
