- Unsealed DOJ records reveal that Jeffrey Epstein made financial contributions to organizations supporting the ‘Israeli’ military (FIDF) and West Bank settlement expansion (JNF) as early as 2005.
- Alleged Intelligence Ties: The documents reference unverified FBI informant claims suggesting Epstein had links to ‘Israeli’ intelligence, potentially facilitated through his well-documented relationship with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Recently released documents from the United States Department of Justice have disclosed that the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sex trafficking offenses, provided financial support to organizations affiliated with the ‘Israeli’ military and settlement activities in occupied Palestinian territories.
These revelations stem from FBI files and IRS records published on the DOJ website, shedding light on Epstein's donations dating back to 2005.
According to a 2005 IRS filing for Epstein's C.O.U.Q. Foundation, he donated $25,000 to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), a US-based nonprofit that raises funds for active-duty ‘Israeli’ soldiers, veterans, and military infrastructure.
The FIDF describes itself as an authorized organization for collecting donations on behalf of the ‘Israeli’ army, with activities including support for soldier welfare programs.
This contribution aligns with Epstein's reported visits to ‘Israeli’ military bases in 2008, during which he toured facilities alongside FIDF representatives.
In the same filing, Epstein allocated $15,000 to the Jewish National Fund (JNF), an organization established in 1901 to acquire land for Jewish settlement in historic Palestine.
The JNF has been criticized for its role in funding and expanding settlements in the West Bank, which are considered illegal under international law by entities such as the United Nations.
Additional records indicate smaller donations, including $5,000 to the National Council of Jewish Women.
The documents also reference claims from an FBI informant who believed Epstein had ties to ‘Israeli’ intelligence, potentially as a Mossad agent trained under former ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Ehud Barak. However, the allegations remain unverified.
Epstein, who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial, was known for leveraging his wealth to cultivate relationships with global elites, including figures in ‘Israeli’ leadership.
