Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett dismissed allegations that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence services, describing the claims from U.S. media figures as being part of “a vicious wave of slander and lies” against Israel.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vigorously refuted conspiracy theories that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the Mossad intelligence service.

Jeffrey Epstein laughed off claims that he was an Israeli spy, his former attorney has said. Alan Dershowitz, who helped secure the controversial “sweetheart deal” for Epstein, said the disgraced financier denied being a foreign agent when grilled on the subject.

Ex-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett rebuked Tucker Carlson over his claim that the alleged sex pest Jeffrey Epstein led a blackmail campaign on behalf of the Mossad. Bennett, 53, characterized the conspiratorial remarks from Carlson—and others on the right—as a “vicious wave of slander and lies” against Israel.

"The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,” wrote Naftali Bennett.

The former Prime Minister of Israel has denied that Epstein was an agent of Mossad, although it is clear he was in the agency's orbit.
