An American working as a foreign agent for Israel—or any foreign principal—must report this to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) if they engage in political activities, lobbying, or public relations on behalf of the foreign government. Failure to register can result in criminal penalties, including fines up to $10,000 and up to five years in prison.
The latest tranche of documents, released in early February 2026 under a transparency law passed by the U.S. Congress, includes millions of pages of correspondence, financial records, and judicial documents that had remained inaccessible to journalists and researchers for years.
The network operated—from the charitable foundation allegedly used as a financial cover, to the organizations, universities, and athletes that benefited from Epstein’s funding, and finally to what FBI reports suggest about his potential relationship with Israeli intelligence.
Investigators from Arabi Post tracked every reference to “Israel” or Jewish organizations within the files, then cross-checked those references against records from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. One entity emerged at the center of the network: THE C.O.U.Q. FOUNDATION, INC., established by Epstein in 2001 and chaired by him.
According to the records, this foundation functioned as a primary channel through which donations were transferred to various Jewish and Zionist organizations. In addition, another entity bearing Epstein’s name appeared as a donor to the organization “Friends of the Israel Defense Forces” (FIDF) in a financial document dated 2005.
The documents show that Epstein financially supported several prominent organizations known for backing Israel.
