Documents Allege Epstein Funded Israeli Military, Settlement Projects

DID Press: Newly released documents cited by the U.S. Department of Justice allege that disgraced American financier Jeffrey Epstein allocated significant funds to support Israel’s military and settlement-related projects in occupied territories.

Records submitted to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service indicate Epstein Foundation made donations to an organization known as “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces,” a U.S.-based group that provides financial support to Israeli soldiers and military infrastructure.

The documents also point to financial contributions by Epstein to the Jewish National Fund, a real estate–focused organization that has played a key role in land acquisition and the development of Israeli settlements, including in areas claimed by Palestinians.

The disclosures have renewed scrutiny of Epstein’s financial activities and the destinations of his philanthropic donations. No additional details or official responses were cited at the time of publication.
