Carlson responded to Bennett's post by inviting him to sit down for an interview about Epstein. Former prime minister Naftali Bennett on Monday confronted conservative pundit Tucker Carlson following his claim that Jeffrey Epstein was working for Israeli intelligence services.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett dismissed allegations that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence services, describing the claims from U.S. media figures as being part of “a vicious wave of slander and lies” against Israel.

The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,” wrote Naftali Bennett.
