Epstein brokered meetings between Ehud Barak and UAE billionaire before Abraham Accords: Report

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein brokered backchannel meetings between former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and UAE billionaire Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, the CEO of Dubai's state-owned port operator DP World. According to leaked emails, these meetings occurred years before the 2020 Abraham Accords officially normalized relations between Israel and the UAE. In 2013, Epstein attempted to facilitate an investment by Sulayem in an Israeli logistics company, though Barak suggested it was too early for such a deal. These communications reveal the existence of deep intelligence and business backchannels between the two nations long before the formal diplomatic agreement.
