Jeffrey Epstein Assisted Israel in Selling Surveillance Technology to Côte d’Ivoire
Leaked emails reveal negotiations between Côte d’Ivoire and Israel, facilitated by Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein. Both Epstein and Barak were involved in profiting from conflict situations.
Barak’s Shift to Security Salesmanship
Following his term as Israel’s defense minister and after his so-called retirement, Ehud Barak took on the role of promoting Israeli security services to troubled governments. This allowed Israeli intelligence to influence the security systems of multiple African countries, including Côte d’Ivoire.
Epstein’s Quiet Role
Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019, discreetly supported these efforts. In correspondence with Barak, Epstein wrote:
“With civil unrest exploding [...] and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you.”
Barak responded:
“You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.”
Turning Unrest into Revenue
In Côte d’Ivoire’s case, converting instability into profit meant brokering security deals between the Israeli government and the West African nation.
New Revelations from Leaked Documents
The extent of Epstein’s involvement in Israeli intelligence operations across Africa is now clearer due to two sources:
- An archive of leaked emails published by the Handala hacking group, available via the whistleblower platform Distributed Denial of Secrets
- Documents released recently by the U.S. House Oversight Committee
These disclosures shed light on covert collaborations shaping security and surveillance in the region.
Summary: Leaked archives expose how Jeffrey Epstein and Ehud Barak cooperated to sell Israeli surveillance systems to Côte d’Ivoire, revealing the intersection of intelligence operations and war profiteering.
