Israel installed security at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment for ex-PM Barak
Investigative report reveals the Israeli UN mission coordinated with the convicted sex offender’s staff to secure a Manhattan residence.

The Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to an investigation published by Drop Site News.
Based on a tranche of emails recently released by the United States Department of Justice, the report detailed how Israeli officials coordinated directly with Epstein’s staff starting in early 2016 to secure a residence at 301 East 66th Street. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently used the apartment for extended stays.
While the property was technically owned by a company linked to Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, the disgraced financier essentially controlled it. The units in the building were frequently loaned to Epstein’s associates and used to house underage models, the report said.
Barak served as prime minister from 1999 to 2001. Under Israeli law, former prime ministers receive state-funded security after leaving office. The documents expose a direct operational relationship between Israel’s permanent mission to the United Nations and Epstein’s enterprise.
Rafi Shlomo, the former director of protective services at the Israeli mission and head of Barak’s security detail, personally controlled access to the apartment. Shlomo conducted background checks on Epstein’s employees and cleaning staff and held meetings with them to coordinate the installation of surveillance equipment.

Epstein Island Cameras Installed by Israeli Government – Files Expose Shocking Ties
Unsealed documents hint at intelligence operations and blackmail schemes involving global elites

Published 19 February 2026, 10:46 AM GMTFresh documents released by the US Department of Justice have reignited claims of Jeffrey Epstein’s Mossad ties, with references to Israeli intelligence and secret surveillance equipment in his properties. The tranche, made public in early February 2026, includes emails and an FBI memo suggesting the disgraced financier may have operated as an intelligence asset.
Allegations centre on blackmail operations targeting global elites, though no concrete evidence ties the Israeli government directly to installations on Epstein’s private island. This follows years of speculation about his network.
Unsealed Files and Intelligence Claims
The latest release encompasses over three million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images from the Epstein investigation. Among them, a 2020 FBI memo cites a confidential source alleging Epstein was ‘trained as a spy‘ and relayed information to Mossad through intermediaries.
The document mentions phone calls between Epstein and Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz reportedly shared with Israeli intelligence, alongside links to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Such claims echo earlier reports from sources like former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe, who asserted Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a Mossad honeytrap in the 1980s.
Leaked emails from 2015 show Epstein partnering with Barak to invest in a security tech startup, later renamed Carbyne, staffed by ex-Israeli intelligence operatives. These connections extend to deals involving facial recognition technology tested in Gaza and sold to Nigeria. Hardly a surprise, given Epstein’s funding of pro-Israel groups like the Jewish National Fund.
Surveillance Systems and Blackmail Allegations
Epstein’s properties were reportedly equipped with extensive surveillance, fuelling theories of a blackmail scheme. Emails from 2014 reveal him directing an aide to install hidden, motion-activated cameras in his Palm Beach home, concealed in items like Kleenex boxes. Similar setups existed across his residences, with former employees confirming 24-hour cameras in every room.
On Little St James, his private island, ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou has claimed hidden video cameras were placed literally everywhere, including bathrooms, to capture compromising footage.
