Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vigorously rebutted conspiracy theories that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the Mossad intelligence service.

Bennett blasted the “vicious wave of slander and lies against” the Jewish state in a series of posts on X Monday and stressed that he is “100%” certain that the powerful spy service didn’t work with Epstein, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.

“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 declared.

Epstein has made fresh headlines in recent days after the Justice Department released a memo last week concluding that the 66-year-old committed suicide and did not keep a “client list” of acquaintances to whom he trafficked teenage girls — contrary to widespread speculation.

Last Friday, broadcaster Tucker Carlson made waves at the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) summit in Tampa for alleging — without evidence — that Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence.

“I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American. And we have every right to ask, on whose behalf was he working?” the former Fox News host mused.

“Now, no one’s allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that’s naughty. There is nothing wrong with saying that,” he added.

At another point during the TPUSA summit, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon asked: “Is there some interconnection between Saudi intel, MI6, Mossad, CIA?”

In response, Bennett underscored Monday that “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,” he added. “This accusation is a lie being peddled by prominent online personalities such as Tucker Carlson pretending they know things they don’t. They just make things up, say it with confidence and these lies stick, because it’s Israel.”

Former Miami US Attorney Alex Acosta, who signed off on a wrist-slap plea deal given Epstein in 2008, fueled speculation that the pervert was a spook when he was quoted as having told the Trump transition team following the 2016 election: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”


  “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 on X.

Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi told The Post she had “no knowledge about” Epstein being an intelligence asset.

Bondi became an object of wrath among members of Trump’s coalition after she was asked by Fox News in February about the DOJ “releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients,” and she replied that “it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has since claimed that Bondi was referencing “all of the paper[work] in relation to Jeffrey Epstein crimes.”

Trump responded to calls for Bondi to be fired over the weekend, praising her on Truth Social Saturday for “doing a fantastic job” and questioning: “Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration?”

“They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called ‘friends’ are playing right into their hands.”

“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?” the former TV personality taunted. “We’ll reach out to your office this morning.”
