Former Israeli PM Denies Epstein-Mossad Link, Threatens Tucker Carlson

Former Israeli Prime Minister(PM) Naftali Bennett in an X post Monday, denied reports that late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, stating that such accusations are "categorically and totally false."

Bennett claimed that Epstein's criminal activities had "nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel." He also accused prominent figures like Former Fox News host and popular American journalist Tucker Carlson of spreading conspiracy theories and "making things up" to fuel a "vicious wave of slander and lies" against Israel.

President Donald Trump has come under heavy criticisms from his MAGA supporters after he dismissed public interest following the recent controversial Department of Jistice(DOJ) memo about the Epstein files. Carlson suggested at a Turning Point USA(TPUSA) summit that Epstein might have worked for foreign intelligence services, likely Israeli.

"As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty:" Bennett wrote in part on X. "The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false. Epstein’s conduct, both the criminal and the merely despicable, had nothing whatsoever to do with the Mossad or the State of Israel. Epstein never worked for the Mossad. This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t... There’s a vicious wave of slander and lies against my country and my people, and we just won’t take it anymore."

Responding, the former Fox News host suggested the former PM is threatening him. "You 'just won’t take it anymore'? Instead of issuing threats on social media, why don’t you sit down for a rational interview on Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to the Israeli government? We’ll reach out to your office this morning," Carlson wrote.

Israel's outsized influence on U.S. politicians and foreign policy has become a hot button and subject of an ongoing contentious debate on the American right, the constituency which until recently, has been a reliable base of support for the Jewish nation in America. Pro-israel groups like AIPAC have faced criticism for not registering as foreign lobbies in violation of U.S. law.

Prominent American conservative commentators like Carlson and Candace Owens have faced targeted online smear campaigns by pro-Israel activists and organizations.

The growing anti-Israel sentiment in America apparently has Jewish gloablists panicked.

Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, has also criticized Owens and Carlson's remarks in an "open letter," on X to the TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Monday, arguing that the former Fox News host's claims were baseless and contributed to a rise in antisemitism.

"There is nothing wrong with demanding complete transparency about Jeffrey Epstein," Chikli writes in part on X. "But there is something profoundly wrong with elevating Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis like Daryl Cooper, and conspiracy theorists like Candace Owens."

Such vitriolic name-calling has been dismissed by conservatives as smear tactics by pro-Israel activists and groups meant to intimidate and dissuade Americans from 'The Great Noticing,' a meme referencing the growing awareness of the corrupting influence of Jewish supremacists and globalists on American politics and foreign policies.

Owens responded to Naftali's X post, writing, sarcastically, "The former Prime Minister of Israel says Epstein wasn’t working for them. And you can totally trust his word, because before he became Prime Minister of Israel, this is what he was up to:" with a video which shows Naftali discussing Israeli government's operation aimed at censoring and editing information on Wikipedia.
