Newly released documents from the US Department of Justice are shedding light on Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Israel. The documents detail Epstein's interactions with prominent figures like former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, as well as his financial support for groups such as Friends of the Israeli Defence Forces and the Jewish National Fund. Some evidence suggests possible ties between Epstein and members of Israeli intelligence services. An FBI memo reported a source claiming Epstein was a "co-opted Mossad agent" who had been "trained as a spy" for Israel. The documents also mention Epstein's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, and his connections to wealthy families, including Jared Kushner, potentially linking Epstein to US intelligence circles.
