Yoni Koren was an Israeli military intelligence officer with Mossad ties who made repeated extended stays at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartments between 2014-2018, coordinated through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff while serving as a senior aide to former Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Koren appears throughout the documents as a regular houseguest at Epstein's Manhattan properties, with emails showing apartment arrangements, welcome letters, cable installations, and doctor's appointments coordinated by Lesley Groff. The emails document stays ranging from single weeks to multi-week visits (including a September-October 2014 stay, December 2015, multiple 2016 visits, January 2017, September 2018, and April 2019). Many mentions involve logistical coordination—welcome letters for specific apartments (3M, 7J, 11B), Time Warner Cable installations, and medical appointment arrangements at Mt. Sinai with Dr. Scher—suggesting he was treated as a trusted, recurring guest with access to Epstein's residential properties.
Key Highlights
- •Made repeated extended stays at Epstein's apartments from 2014-2019, with some visits lasting 2-3 weeks
- •Was a longtime aide to Ehud Barak (Israeli Defense Minister) who had his own extensive documented connection to Epstein
- •Intelligence background: Mossad-linked operative and lieutenant colonel in Israeli military intelligence who worked in covert operations
- •Groff coordinated medical appointments for him at Mt. Sinai during NY visits, suggesting close relationship
- •Emails show Epstein worked on wire transfers to Koren and that Koren served as intermediary arranging Pentagon/White House access for Barak
- •Died from cancer in 2023; eulogized by Barak as a 'talented intelligence officer with endless loyalty to the state'
