Vance Says Epstein Linked to Israeli Deep State

Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday that the late financier Jeffrey Epstein “seemed” to have ties to elements of what she described as the “Israeli deep state.” Speaking during a press briefing, Harris referenced reports linking Epstein to a network of influential figures in Israel, noting that the connections appeared “consistent with the kind of shadowy, transnational relationships that have been alleged in various investigations.” She emphasized that the comment was based on publicly available information and ongoing inquiries, and she did not assert any definitive proof of wrongdoing.

The remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein’s extensive financial and social contacts, which have included politicians, businessmen, and academics worldwide. U.S. officials have not launched a formal investigation into the alleged Israeli links, and Israeli authorities have not commented on the vice president’s statement. Harris concluded by reiterating the administration’s commitment to a thorough, transparent examination of all aspects of the Epstein case, urging cooperation from international partners to ensure accountability where evidence warrants it.
