Epstein said Qatar had to 'sing and dance' for Israel like Modi, to escape blockade

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein advised a Qatari businessman that Doha needed to normalize relations with Israel to get on the good side of the Trump administration during the 2017 Gulf blockade. According to newly released emails, Epstein suggested Qatar should follow the example of Indian Prime Minister Modi, who he claimed "danced and sang in israel for the benefit of the US president." Epstein, who had ties to intelligence networks and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, also engaged in track II diplomacy and commented that Turkey's military deployment to Qatar had made a military invasion by Saudi Arabia and the UAE no longer viable.
