Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has slammed the door on conspiracy theories linking Jeffrey Epstein to Israel’s Mossad, but the wild claims just won’t die—and you have to wonder why the left is still obsessed with pushing baseless narratives that target America’s strongest allies while real corruption in their own backyard goes ignored.
Epstein, Mossad, and the Never-Ending Cycle of Conspiracy
Jeffrey Epstein’s name is practically synonymous with elite scandal and government cover-up. Since his jailhouse death in 2019, ruled a suicide by the same Department of Justice that couldn’t find a “client list,” the American public has been bombarded with theory after theory about who he really worked for. But leave it to Tucker Carlson—never one to shy away from poking the establishment’s sacred cows—to drag the Mossad theory back into the limelight in July 2025 at the Turning Point USA summit. Carlson, in classic fashion, challenged the media’s silence and threw fuel on the fire by suggesting Epstein may have worked for Israeli intelligence. Of course, this sent the professional conspiracy deniers into overdrive, and it didn’t take long for Israeli officials to fire back.
Naftali Bennett, former Israeli Prime Minister, was quick to respond, issuing a categorical and public denial, accusing Carlson and his supporters of spreading anti-Israel slander. Bennett’s statement was as blunt as one would hope from a world leader: “The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false.” For anyone still clinging to the notion that Mossad was running Epstein’s operation, Bennett’s words left no room for ambiguity. But in today’s world—where public trust in government is at an all-time low and the media can’t seem to cover anything without a heavy dose of narrative spin—such denials don’t seem to settle anything. Instead, they just raise more questions.
Why This Nonsense Sticks: Public Distrust and Media Games
You can’t blame people for being suspicious. The Epstein case is a masterclass in how the “elites” dodge accountability. First, there’s the so-called suicide that happened in a supposedly secure Manhattan jail, with cameras malfunctioning and guards asleep at the wheel. Then, there’s the total lack of transparency about his powerful associates, thanks to the DOJ’s refusal to release a “client list.” Add in the fact that every major intelligence agency has been accused of playing dirty for decades, and you’ve got a recipe for endless speculation—especially when the media acts more like a PR arm for whatever administration is in power than a watchdog for the truth.
As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty:
The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false.

The latest round of Mossad theories is just a symptom of a larger disease: institutional rot and a chronic lack of transparency. The DOJ, still reeling from years of politicized investigations and stonewalling, has lost credibility with the very Americans whose trust it’s supposed to protect. And the media? More interested in chasing Russian ghosts and “insurrection” narratives than asking tough questions about who really protected Epstein and why we’re still in the dark about his network. That’s why conspiracy theories—no matter how wild—keep finding oxygen. When people sense that the “official story” is a joke, they’ll keep looking for answers elsewhere.
Weaponizing Conspiracy: The Real Fallout and Who Pays the Price
Bennett’s forceful denial may satisfy Israel’s diplomatic corps, but it does nothing to address the root problem: an American public starved for honesty and accountability. Instead of real answers, we get finger-pointing and accusations of “anti-Israel slander.” Meanwhile, social media and cable news amplify every wild theory—because outrage and speculation get clicks, not fact-checking and nuance. The result? Public opinion becomes more polarized, trust in institutions craters, and the victims of Epstein’s crimes get lost in yet another circus of distraction.

For Israel and Mossad, the reputational risk is real—especially as anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy culture spread online. For America, the cost is even steeper: a public that can’t trust its own government, a media landscape addicted to outrage, and a political class more concerned with scoring points than finding the truth. And through it all, the real story—the one about elite criminality, cover-ups, and a justice system that protects the powerful—remains untold. The Epstein-Mossad rumors might be fiction, but the frustration fueling them is all too real.
