Epstein had ties to the highest echelons of Israeli intelligence. This was stated by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, media report.

“Epstein appears to have been connected to elements of the Israeli ‘deep state’ that held center-left positions. This has always surprised me. You can’t say that he was closely connected to the center-right circles of Israeli politics.

I know for certain that there are people in the Israeli government who are trying to distract us from this policy because they want to continue the military campaign. We know for certain that there are people in their system who manipulate and try to change American public opinion so that the war continues indefinitely. Again, not for any specific purpose, but simply indefinitely.

There is a lot of talk about how strongly the Israeli government influences American politics, and certainly there are certain people in the Israeli government who hate this deal. We see irrefutable evidence of this. Yesterday, the Times published an article that essentially said that some influential figures in America are being paid to criticize this deal.

This is a country with a population of 9 million people. We have 330 million. And, of course, they will try to persuade Americans. They will try to sway Americans one way or another. I think the Israelis are definitely more effective at this than most,” Vance noted.
