(March 4, 2025 / JNS) Former Israeli prime ministers Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert were listed as associates of Jeffrey Epstein in the convicted sex offender’s records, according to files declassified by the U.S. Department of Justice last week.

The release of the roughly 200 pages from the “Epstein files” by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi—mainly containing flight logs and lists of associates—marked the first time Olmert had been linked to the accused sex trafficker.

Other Israeli individuals listed in the declassified documents included Arik Gutman, Avi Gil, Efrat Evani Duud, Elisa Eshed and Neima Yakhof.
