Look into the context. Tucker was being set up for a mossad assassination. They started by calling him Hitler, then they began to waive his security arrangements, and at the moment Israel has been are talking about "going after dissidents in the west like Palestinians". They also have all their oversees agents (we should not bother with the misdirection of calling them citizens, they are sayanim or sympathizers working as dual-loyalty agents) doing the tour circuit of trying to cut Tucker out of the Republican party... so, charitably, it may have been that Israel threatened a lawsuit against Tucker for speaking out. Of course, so far as I know, Epstein did meet with various Israeli presidents former and perhaps even present. But that mild retreat doesn't mean the direction of what Tucker has done is momentous. He went right into the Serpent's lair and told it what it was.
