Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Israel | Murtaza Hussain | Real Talk

About this episode

Murtaza Hussain discusses Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Israeli intelligence and political figures.

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 delves into the reports and email leaks about the wider network surrounding Epstein, and explores how his activities reached other countries, like Russia, Syria and India.
