Former Israeli Prime Minister Addresses Epstein Conspiracy Theories

The former Prime Minister of Israel has responded to allegations suggesting that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in a blackmail scheme linked to Israel.

Naftali Bennett, who held office from 2021 to 2022, firmly denied these conspiracy theories, stating that they are baseless claims pushed by individuals tied to Epstein’s trafficking activities.

Bennett expressed his frustration, saying, “There are vicious waves of slander, lying to my country and my people. We won’t take it anymore.”

He insisted with certainty that any accusation connecting Epstein’s activities to Israel or its intelligence agency, Mossad, is “decisively and completely wrong.” This declaration was shared on social media.

Furthermore, Bennett emphasized that Epstein’s criminal actions have no association with Israel or its intelligence services, labeling the claims as lies propagated by noted public figures, including Tucker Carlson.

As he wrapped up his statement, Bennett reiterated, “There’s a malicious wave of slander, lying to my country and my people. We won’t take it anymore.”

Bennett’s comments came in response to Carlson’s statements during his address at the Turning Point USA Summit held in Tampa, Florida. Carlson alleged that Epstein operated under the auspices of the Israeli government while running a sex trafficking operation.

During the same period, former President Donald Trump reacted to questions surrounding Epstein, expressing disbelief that people were still discussing the matter. “Are people still talking about this guy? This has been going on for years,” he commented.
