Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has aggressively refuted conspiracy claims that renowned sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was linked to the Mossad intelligence organization.

Bennett lambasted the “vicious wave of slander and lies against” the Jewish state in a series of postings on X Monday, emphasizing that he is “100%” convinced that the Israeli espionage service did not cooperate with Epstein, who was discovered dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.

“As a former Israeli Prime Minister, with the Mossad having reported directly to me, I say to you with 100% certainty: The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,” Bennett declared.

Epstein has made new headlines in recent days as the Justice Department issued a letter last week claiming that the 66-year-old committed himself and did not have a “client list” of individuals with whom he trafficked adolescent girls, contrary to popular belief.

Former Miami US Attorney Alex Acosta, who approved Epstein’s wrist-slap plea deal in 2008, fueled speculation that the pervert was a spy when he was quoted as telling the Trump transition team after the 2016 election: “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi told The Post last week that she had “no knowledge about” Epstein’s status as an intelligence asset.

Ghislaine Maxwell is prepared to appear and testify before Congress amid the fallout over the release of the Epstein files.

Maxwell, 63, is the sole person in jail, spending 20 years on child sex trafficking charges, even though pedophile Jeffrey Epstein reportedly controlled a network of young females.

Furthermore, Epstein’s victims said they were handed about as sex toys to his affluent friends and billionaire business acquaintances, who frequently visited his houses, including his own island, Little Saint James.

“Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story. No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth,” according to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail.

Maxwell was convicted in 2022 for her participation in a decade-long plot to sexually exploit and abuse many women and teenage girls alongside Epstein.

Maxwell claims she should have been protected from prosecution as part of a Non Prosecution Agreement signed by Epstein, her former boyfriend and boss, in 2007 when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor prostitution counts in a “sweetheart deal” that resulted in his spending minimal time in prison.

And now, controversy rages over the Department of Justice’s statement that there is no Epstein “client list” and the release of videos from inside New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, which the DOJ claims show he committed suicide in 2019 while being held in jail on sex trafficking charges.

According to a source close to Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend, who continues to assert her innocence, would “welcome the chance to sit in front of Congress and tell her story.”

The DOJ concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and maintains that no list exists naming the powerful individuals allegedly involved in his network of sexual abuse, Fox News reported.

In a joint memo obtained by Fox News last week, the DOJ and FBI stated they had no additional information to release regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s case or death.

The announcement sparked internal tensions, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly clashing with Attorney General Pam Bondi over what he described as a “lack of transparency,” even going so far as to threaten resignation, according to Fox News.

Epstein was a convicted sexual predator who pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring underage girls for prostitution. He was arrested again in 2019 on new federal charges of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

The financier, who mingled with global elites from Bill Gates to being photographed with Donald Trump years before his presidency, was found dead in
