Israeli intelligence sources reject claims Jeffrey Epstein was Mossad operative following document releases

Following the release of documents detailing Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, claims have resurfaced that Epstein was a Mossad operative. Israeli intelligence sources and political leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, are strongly denying these allegations. They assert that Epstein had no connection to Mossad and that the accusations are baseless. Former Mossad director Yossi Cohen also refuted the claims. Netanyahu has accused Barak of using the situation for political gain, while Barak's office has dismissed Netanyahu's remarks as politically motivated and reiterated that he regrets ever meeting Epstein. The denials come amid renewed scrutiny of documents and communications, none of which indicate that Epstein cooperated with Israeli intelligence.
