NEW: Ehud Barak had 60+ in-person meetings w/ Jeffrey Epstein from Sept 2010 to March 2019. At least seven happened while he was Minister of Defense of Israel under Netanyahu. Among the latest revelations about the two men's close friendship from the DoJ release:🧵

In one text exchange from when Barak was Israeli MoD, Barak appears to acknowledge that he had used Epstein's advice for some official business he was working on related to Davos. Suggests Epstein had ability to influence Israeli govt policy through his relationship w/ Barak. https://t.co/OfVf7RC3Vg

The 60+ figure is prob an undercount as I only looked at a little over 1k docs - there are 000s more. But even these showed that on top of these meetings were many dozens more times the two had phone calls, tried to arrange to meet, or Barak stayed at one of Epstein's apartments. https://t.co/3ZldcqiDyC

They had a very close friendship - so close that one email suggests Epstein had Barak's MRI result on file. https://t.co/yZqPDcGykR

Barak stayed with Epstein so often, Epstein's assistants joked that the apartment had become his, and Barak's wife started sending instructions directly to staff to clean it for them depending on when they came and went. https://t.co/qSNINuh6MK

At one point, Barak and his wife appear to have visited Epstein's private island. That was after Epstein got them rooms at the Ritz-Carlton on St. Thomas and put it on his card. https://t.co/ob2RMhlEen

They often met w/ others. When Summers came to a Sept 2010 dinner w/ then-Israeli MoD Barak, he was told it was "100% off-line". Later, Bill Gates' advisor said he'd see Barak at one of Epstein's parties: "it is more interesting there than at [the Clinton Global Initiative] ;)" https://t.co/mh2fdcIV0Z

That and more contained here. 2nd time trying to post this as this site's functionality continues circling the toilet bowl. My tweets are currently suppressed so best thing is to share on your own rather than RT. https://jacobin.com/2026/02/epstein-files-barak-israel-relationship

"Who thinks it's legitimate to fire a missile at children? And with a helicopter?" an IDF soldier asks, calling it "pure evil." The answer is not just the Israeli military, but most politicians & media personalities in the "civilised" Western world. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-12-18/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-soldiers-expose-arbitrary-killings-and-rampant-lawlessness-in-gazas-netzarim-corridor/00000193-da7f-de86-a9f3-fefff2e50000

IDF soldiers themselves are more aware than anyone of the vile reality of what Israel is doing in Gaza. Read what they describe seeing: https://t.co/KRs4LD8wSe
