‘The Mossad was beneath him’: Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Israel | Murtaza Hussain | Real Talk https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/ef2f7293-2d2e-4d2c-baaa-fded5dd0e06e What was Jeffrey Epstein doing for Israeli intelligence? A new series of reports by Drop Site News has been examining this very question. Drop Site journalist Murtaza Hussain joined Mohamed Hashem on Real Talk to examine Epstein’s lesser-known ties to powerful figures inside Israeli political and intelligence circles. Hussain explains how Epstein formed a relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and how a senior Israeli intelligence officer stayed on his estate for weeks at a time. This conversation also delves into the reports and email leaks about the wider network surrounding Epstein, and explores how his activities reportedly reached other countries, like Russia, Syria and India.
