INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Yehuda Koppel was an Israeli military figure and father-in-law of Leslie Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein's primary financial patron. Koppel (1920–2006) served as a commander in the Haganah during Israel's 1948 founding and later directed El Al's U.S. operations. Flight logs show Koppel and his wife traveled with Epstein to Paris in September 1997. While Koppel died in 2006, before Epstein's crimes became public, he is significant to the Epstein case as a contextual figure whose family connections to Wexner linked Epstein to Israeli political and intelligence circles. No criminal accountability determination can be made for Koppel himself.
