]]> Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared an article from the magazine Jacobin over the weekend, known for its anti-Israel stance, its opposition to the IDF, and its repeated claims of genocide in Gaza. The article Netanyahu shared was titled "Jeffrey Epstein claimed to have meddled in Israel's elections." According to the article, recently discovered documents show Jeffrey Epstein boasting about bringing Ehud Barak back into Israeli politics in 2019.

The article also raised the conspiracy theory that Epstein was a Mossad agent, a claim that Israel has previously firmly denied. American commentator Megyn Kelly shared Netanyahu's tweet and wrote: "So I guess it's not antisemitic to ask if Epstein as an asset for Israeli intel and we shouldn't just take Ehud Barak's words for it that he wasn't."

Netanyahu's tweet, which has already garnered over 4 million views, reached the author of the article he shared: Branko Marcetic. Marcetic used Netanyahu's action as a supposed confirmation that Israel is committing genocide against children "on a world historical scale." The magazine Jacobin did not ignore this either and wrote: "While you're perusing our magazine in between ordering genocidal war crimes, Mr. Netanyahu, you might be interested in this piece by the same author." The headline of the article the magazine shared was: "Israel's Gaza war is one of history's worst crimes."

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted against Netanyahu's move and responded similarly to Netanyahu's reaction to the actions of the IDF: "Sharing by the head of the Israeli government constitutes a huge boost and legitimization for a magazine full of accusations against Israel of genocide, apartheid, and war crimes. Israel's enemies, including the magazine itself, are already celebrating this as proof of the false conspiracies against Israel."
