Netanyahu Aide's Secret Venezuela Trip Revealed in Leaked Messages

Leaked correspondence has revealed that Yisrael Einhorn, a close advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, was in Caracas, Venezuela. Einhorn sent his location from a hotel in the Venezuelan capital to Eli Feldstein, a spokesperson for Netanyahu, stating, "Greetings from Caracas, secretly of course." Feldstein responded with apparent surprise, "I don't know. I haven't heard of this place," and inquired about Einhorn's activities there. Einhorn then forwarded a news report from the "Ynet" website about Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's refusal to concede election results. Feldstein's replies included a joking remark, "I don't know who you're working with there lol," and a question about whether Caracas was "beautiful," to which Einhorn replied, "Very beautiful, but less than Thailand."

This exchange occurred approximately one month after a previous leak of correspondence involving key figures in Netanyahu's office, including Yonatan Uriach and Topaz Lok, as reported by i24NEWS Hebrew's legal commentator Avishai Grintsaig. Those earlier messages reportedly exposed what Grintsaig described as an organized operational mechanism within the Prime Minister's office, detailing attempts to sow discord between IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant during wartime, the dissemination of information to journalists, the handling of hostage families, and instructions sent to Yaakov Bardugo.

The recent messages from Venezuela did not provide further details regarding the nature of Einhorn's work in Caracas or the specific parties he was interacting with.
