Leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak reveal that Jeffrey Epstein helped open a secret backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian civil war, planning a meeting with President Vladimir Putin to discuss removing Bashar al-Assad and promoting a Russian-led peace plan.
Between 2013 and 2016, Epstein advised Barak on messaging to the Kremlin, coordinated with Israeli intelligence contacts, and used his elite network to shape U.S. and Russian policy debates over Syria and Iran. Their collaboration, revealed by a trove of Barak’s emails hacked by Handala, also advanced Barak’s global business ventures and Israeli security goals.
Though their effort failed to unseat Assad, it deepened covert ties between Moscow and Tel Aviv.
