Netanyahu again goes after Ehud Barak for ties to accused billionaire Jeffrey Epstein [Flashback]
The Times of Israel ^ | 2019 | TOI Staff & Agencies

Posted on 11/16/2025 5:52:00 AM PST by CondoleezzaProtege

The political jousting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and rival former premier Ehud Barak ramped up Tuesday when the premier published a video on social media again questioning the latter’s relationship with US billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sex-trafficking in minors.

The video was published under the headline “What else has sex offender Epstein given to Barak?”

According to Netanyahu’s video, Epstein manages the Wexner Foundation. Forbes says he serves as a trustee, and a spokesperson for the institution told the financial news outlet that Les Wexner, founder of the organization, severed ties with Epstein over a decade ago.

The video states that Barak received a payment of $2.3 million from the foundation and has refused to answer questions on the matter.

When asked directly what he did for the payment of NIS 10 million (approximately $2.3 million at the time), Barak responded: “Ask the Wexner Foundation.”

In 2016, eight years after Epstein pleaded guilty to the charges, Barak was seen outside his New York home in photos published by the Daily Mail. The captions of the photos did not identify Barak by name, but said he had arrived at the New York residence with his own security detail.

Netanyahu’s Likud party repeatedly claimed Sunday that Barak attended a party hosted by Epstein in 2016.

On Sunday morning, Netanyahu tweeted a screenshot of a Hebrew-language report about Epstein’s arrest and his ties to Barak.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Needless to say Barak lost that race.

There is no evidence Epstein was some agent of Mossad intelligence. But he had strong ties to the Middle Eastern elite - Arab and Israeli alike. And for some, the relationship was strictly professional and not related to houseguest/private jet/island madness.

Yep. Epstein had a SAUDI passport, which he used extensively to avoid detection. The "Mossad!" stuff is a smokescreen.

The “smokescreen” was getting millions and millions of dollars from wealthy Jewish sponsors for no apparent reason.

It sure fooled me!

Lol.

To those not engaged in Israeli ***-kissing:

At his death in August 2019, Jeffrey Epstein’s net
worth was officially valued at approximately $578 million.
<><>A criminal filing in his case listed his net worth at roughly $560 million,
<><>his will specified assets of $577.6 million, transferred into a trust.

His assets included:

Real Estate: Lavish properties including a Manhattan townhouse valued at over $50 million, a Palm Beach mansion, a ranch in New Mexico, an apartment in Paris, and two private Caribbean islands (Little St. James and Great St. James) together valued at over $86 million.

Cash and Investments: Nearly $380 million in cash, equities, hedge funds, and private equity investments.

Other Assets: Aviation assets, automobiles, and boats, valued at over $18 million.

His art collection had yet to be appraised.


LAUGH BREAK

The origins of Epstein’s massive wealth “supposedly” came from managing the finances of wealthy clients, primarily two billionaires who supposedly paid Epstein “hundreds of millions of dollars” for his tax and estate planning “expertise.”

Ummmmm......can you say foreign aid tax dollars?

I actually lol'd at this... for real.

Epstein's "profession" was bribary, blackmail and child sex pimping. His "relationship" with the Mossad and Five Eyes is mainstream common knowledge.

There are persistent rumors and theories about Epstein’s nefarious connections to the Mossad cabal, the super-secret Israeli intel agency which spies and gathers info 24/7...and is “everywhere” in the US govt.

These rumors have gained some traction.. Points of contention fueling these rumors:
<><>Jeffrey Epstein’s association with Robert Maxwell
<><>Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, was a media mogul
<><>who had ties to Israeli intelligence, according to Time Magazine.
<><>the globe-trotting Epstein might have continued these alleged connections.
<><>there are Jeffrey Epstein’s own statements claiming to be “an intel agent”
<><>Epstein reportedly said he was involved with foreign intel agencies, according to Wiki.

Statements from a former U.S. Attorney: Alexander Acosta, the former US Attorney who handled Epstein’s plea deal in 2008, reportedly told the Trump transition team that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and was “above his pay grade”. Acosta later denied these reports.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has categorically denied the claims: He stated with 100% certainty that the accusation of Epstein working for Israel or Mossad is “categorically and totally false”.

Considering Bennett was PM in 2021-2022 and Epstein died in 2019, how would he even know?

The stupidly naive Biden US Justice Department’s stance? “A memo from the Justice Department stated that no credible evidence was found that ‘Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals’ as part of his actions, nor did they uncover evidence to predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

Epstein without his intelligence connections would have been an unknown two bit street hustler.

He would have been like the guy in the mailer I get every month—some sleazy nobody “retirement expert” offering me a free dinner if I go listen to their slimy sales pitch.

He was part of a Globalist ring, that existed here and in Israel. But who knows what the files show, they were in the hands of Obama and the Auro pen.

The long record of expanding U.S.–Israel security arrangements includes three
10-year framework agreements for long-term tax dollar security aid to Israel,
<><>in 1998 ($21.3 billion tax dollars),
<><>in 2008 ($32 billion tax dollars)
<><>in 2016 ($38 billion rax dollars).

“Emergency packages,” including the substantial billions of tax dollars approved during the 2024 Gaza campaign, came on top of the above-delineated baseline billions. Each cycle raised both expectations and billion dollar tax dollar commitments.

Biden himself gave Israel $12.7 billion tax dollars in 2024———bumble Biden was buying Democrat votes.......after all, it was an “election year.”

The underlying stupidity is laid out in “US Security Assistance to Israel” briefing materials published by the annoying American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The parasitic document as understood by US taxpayers: “Always demanding more tax dollars, Israel has long defined pocketing US tax dollars as “important” to its own national interests.

Israel even laughingly “claims” it “helps” the United States meet security challenges through “close cooperation”,

Yet 9/11 when 3000 Americans died was planned in Israel’s backyard and the US heard not a peep about it.”

The US got no 9/11 warning from its self-styled “greatest ally” in the parasitic Mideast.

There is no other explanation as to how Epstein was able to amass such a fortune.

Virginia Guiffre alleged in her memoir that she was she was “sexually assaulted by a well-known prime minister.” She pointed the finger at prime minister Ehud Barak whom “She described as extremely violent, stating that the prime minister took pleasure in her fear and laughed as he hurt her, becoming more aroused when she begged him to stop.

Giuffre said she was bleeding from her mouth, vagina, and anus after leaving the cabin where the assault occurred.

Giuffre recounted begging Jeffrey Epstein not to send her back, but Epstein reportedly responded coldly, saying such brutality was something she would ‘get that sometimes.’”

Epstein later settled with Giuffre for $500k.

such a humongous fortune.........being a pimp isnt THAT profitable.

The persistent rumors and theories about Epstein’s nefarious connections to the Mossad, Israel’s super-secret, well-fonanced intel agency which gathers info 24/7...and is “everywhere” in the US govt.......that explains it well.

Epstein had valuable info to sell.

Isnt it “odd” that Netanyahu did not mention Barak’s shady sexcapades with Epstein?

Virginia Guiffre alleged in her memoir that while in Epstein’s employ, she was “sexually assaulted by a well-known prime minister.”

She pointed the finger at prime minister Ehud Barak whom “She described as extremely violent, stating that the prime minister took pleasure in her fear and laughed as he hurt her, Barak becoming more sexually aroused when she begged him to stop.

Giuffre said she was bleeding from her mouth, vagina, and anus after leaving the cabin where the Barak assault occurred.

Epstein later settled with Giuffre for $500k.


Giuffre recounted begging Jeffrey Epstein not to send her back to Barak, but Epstein reportedly responded coldly, saying such brutality was something she would ‘get sometimes.’”

Poor deluded Giuffre——she never reckoned an Israeli Prime Minister would be such a bum.

So how much did Netayahu know about this?

There is no evidence Epstein was some agent of Mossad intelligence.

There is not "no" evidence.

There is some circumstantial evidence.

1. Ghislaine's father was a well-known, high-level Mossad asset.

2. Blackmail is a well-known Mossad tactic. Different intelligence agencies have different M.O.s. The Russians are big on blackmail. So is Mossad.

Mossad uses fake passports all the time.

What? You expect their spies to always carry Israeli ID?

There was a scandal a while back when Mossad agents were caught "churning out" fake Australian passports.

Does his Saudi passport really name him as “Jeffrey Epstein”? Wouldn’t he have a more Arab or at least kess Jewish name for a Saudi Pasport?

Well said,

Epstein is a construct a creation by “the blob” deep-state CIA/Mossad acting as a honeypot to influence and control powerful people,

Virginia Giuffre talked about monstrous abuse by an unnamed ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister. Three guesses as to who this person is.
