Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett fiercely rejected explosive allegations that convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein had worked for Mossad, calling the claim �categorically and totally false� and accusing right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson of trafficking in conspiracy theories.

The dramatic exchange erupted following Carlson�s remarks at the Turning Point USA conference this past weekend, where he suggested�without evidence�that Epstein may have run a blackmail operation on behalf of Israeli intelligence.

�Were you working on behalf of Mossad?� Carlson asked hypothetically during his speech. �Were you running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government?� He added, �By the way, every single person in Washington, D.C. thinks that.�

Carlson questioned how Epstein, a former math teacher with no college degree, acquired extraordinary wealth, multiple private jets, and the largest private residence in Manhattan. �It�s not a conspiracy theory,� Carlson said. �It�s a legitimate question.�

Bennett, who served as prime minister from 2021 to 2022 and oversaw Mossad operations during that time, issued a scathing response on Monday. �This is a lie,� he wrote on social media. �It�s part of a vicious wave of slander and lies targeting Israel, led by prominent online personalities like Tucker Carlson.�

Bennett didn�t mince words. �They just make things up, say it with confidence, and the lies stick�because it�s Israel.�

Within an hour, Carlson fired back, accusing Bennett of �issuing threats on social media� and challenging the former premier to join him for a public interview about Epstein�s alleged ties to Israel.
