Ehud Barak says he urged Putin repeatedly to help bring another million Russians to Israel

Описание: In an audio recording that surfaced as part of the latest release of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak tells Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Summers he repeatedly told Russian President Vladimir Putin that he wanted a million Russians to convert to Judaism and become Israeli.

“I used to tell Putin, I always say, ‘What we need is just one more million.’ It changed Israel in a dramatic, dramatic manner—the million Russians,” said Barak.

US authorities released on Friday a new batch of files relating to the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
