Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has issued a firm and unflinching rebuke of conspiracy theories tying deceased pedophile and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.

Bennett took to X (formerly Twitter) Monday to denounce the “vicious wave of slander and lies against the Jewish state,” stating with “100% certainty” that Epstein was never affiliated with Mossad in any form.

“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,” Bennett wrote.

His remarks come amid renewed scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s extensive sex trafficking operation and the Department of Justice’s latest statement downplaying its scope. In a letter issued last week, the DOJ doubled down on its long-disputed claim that Epstein committed suicide and insisted that no “client list” exists — despite years of allegations to the contrary.

Bennett’s comments also push back against long-simmering suspicions fueled by former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who reportedly told Trump transition officials in 2016 that he was instructed to “leave Epstein alone” because “he belonged to intelligence.” The offhand comment launched years of speculation that Epstein operated under the protection of a foreign spy agency, possibly Mossad.

That narrative has now been flatly rejected at the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Meanwhile, the Epstein scandal continues to boil over in the U.S., with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate and convicted accomplice, now offering to testify before Congress.

“Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.”

Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in facilitating the sexual abuse of underage girls on behalf of Epstein and his high-powered associates. Despite overwhelming public demand, not a single elite figure tied to Epstein’s network has been prosecuted.

And now, the DOJ’s assertion that no Epstein “client list” exists has sparked new outrage among conservatives, especially in the MAGA base. According to Fox News, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi, threatening to resign over what he described as a “lack of transparency”.

Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse death remains officially labeled a suicide, but few Americans — and virtually no one in the America First movement — are convinced. Questions continue to swirl around missing surveillance footage, broken cameras, and a lack of accountability for the politically connected individuals who visited Epstein’s various compounds, including Little Saint James Island.

While Bennett’s denial may settle questions about Israeli involvement, it does little to quiet the storm surrounding the deep state’s cover-up, the media’s silence, and the DOJ’s refusal to expose Epstein’s elite clientele.

President Trump, for his part, was cleared of any wrongdoing by Epstein’s final attorney, David Schoen, who stated unequivocally last month that Epstein had “no dirt” on Trump and never mentioned the President in any criminal context.

Still, the MAGA faithful are demanding more, pressing the Trump administration to release every file, memo, and sealed record tied to Epstein’s case. With Ghislaine Maxwell now willing to testify, the question remains: Will Congress have the courage to let her speak?
