Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad: How The Sex-Trafficker Helped Israel Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid Syrian Civil War

Submission statement:

Leaked emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein facilitated efforts to open a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian civil war. Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak sought to leverage their connections to pressure the Obama administration to intervene in Syria and remove Bashar al-Assad. Despite securing a meeting with Putin, they failed to convince Russia to support Assad’s ouster, but their negotiations contributed to U.S.-Russia cooperation on disarming Syria’s chemical weapons.

Ehud Barak, seeking to influence the Syrian conflict, collaborated with Jeffrey Epstein on an op-ed advocating for a Russian-led transition. Despite rejections from major U.S. publications, the piece was published in The Telegraph. Barak, with Epstein’s assistance, secured a meeting with Vladimir Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum to discuss the situation in Syria and other global issues.

Jeffrey Epstein facilitated backchannel diplomacy between Ehud Barak and Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin, to advance Israeli security interests. This collaboration aimed to influence U.S. policy on Syria and Iran, particularly after the Ghouta chemical attack in 2013. While their efforts didn’t achieve all their goals, they helped establish a diplomatic channel between Moscow and Tel Aviv.
