Official documents recently released by the US Department of Justice have revealed new details about the financial support provided by the late businessman Jeffrey Epstein to institutions affiliated with the Israeli occupation. The tax documents, dating back to 2005, show that Epstein, who was convicted of running a sex trafficking network, allocated funds to support military and settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
According to the extracted financial data, Epstein made a donation of $25,000 in March 2005 to the 'Friends of the Israel Defense Forces' association. His donations also included $15,000 to the 'Jewish National Fund,' an organization that plays a pivotal role in funding and expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank, in addition to supporting Jewish women's organizations with other amounts.
Epstein's support for the occupation was not limited to financial aspects but also extended to adopting political narratives that deny Palestinian rights, as revealed by electronic correspondence from 2012 showing his extremist stances. In a message addressed to an unspecified party, Epstein claimed that there was no historical existence for Palestine, asserting that it had never been an independent state or a purely Arab country despite the Arab population's presence since the seventh century.
These leaks come in the context of the announcement by US Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, about the release of more than three million new files to the public as part of the ongoing investigations into the Epstein case. This step aims to shed light on the complex network of relationships the businessman forged with influential figures around the world before his mysterious death in his New York cell in 2019.
These documents re-highlight the list of global figures associated with Epstein's files, which included prominent politicians such as current US President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. The list also included British Prince Andrew and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, raising questions about the nature of the influence Epstein wielded in international and regional decision-making circles.
It is worth noting that Jeffrey Epstein had faced heavy federal charges related to sex trafficking and running a vast network for exploiting minors, where girls, some as young as 14, were subjected to abuses. The repercussions of this case continue to reveal hidden aspects related to the funding of political and military activities associated with the Israeli occupation through unofficial networks.
Palestine was never entirely an Arab country, nor was there ever an independent Palestinian state.
