Newly released JFK files confirm the suspicion that the Israeli secret service was involved in the assassination of JFK
Many observers already noticed that the new JFK files showed that the CIA insisted on redacting any hint to the Israeli Intelligence service. But there is a lot more. In the 2400 new files there is more circumstantial evidence for the involvement of Mossad. The ties of Jack Ruby (real name Jack Rubenstein) to Meyer Lansky, the boss of the Kosher Nostra, are stronger than previously thought. In the weeks before the assassination of JFK and in the days between his murder and the murder of Oswald Ruby had more contacts to the Meyer-Lansky network then usual. Examples:
FBI File 44-24016 (Jack Ruby Main File):
Contents: This file, documenting Ruby's activities before and after the Oswald murder, was expanded in the 2025 declassification. New pages (approximately 300 additional documents) contain telephone logs and informant reports from Dallas that detail Ruby's contacts with known Lansky associates such as Lewis McWillie and Joseph Civello.
Lansky connection: McWillie, a casino operator in Cuba and Las Vegas, was a direct liaison to Lansky's gambling empire. An FBI memo from October 1963 (declassified in 2025) shows that Ruby visited McWillie in Havana when Lansky was operating there. Civello, the Dallas mob boss, is identified in a November 15, 1963, informant report as part of Lansky's "National Crime Syndicate."
FBI File 92-3267 (Organized Crime, Dallas):
Contents: This file, now completely unredacted, focuses on the Dallas Mafia and its connections to national networks. New documents (approximately 150 pages) list Ruby's phone calls with Chicago and Miami mob figures who reported to Lansky.
Lansky connection: A report dated November 4, 1963, lists Ruby's calls to Barney Baker, a Lansky confidant and Teamsters associate. Baker was involved in Lansky's drug and gambling operations. Another memo suggests that Ruby's debts to Lansky's associates were a motive for his proximity to the underworld.
HSCA Documents, Series 180-10074-10443 (Ruby Mob Connections):
Contents: Originally compiled by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1978 and fully declassified in 2025, this file examines Ruby's telephone activity in the fall of 1963. New pages confirm 14 calls to mob contacts between September and November 1963.
Lansky Connection: A call log dated October 26, 1963, shows a connection to Russell Mathews, a Dallas mobster with direct business ties to Lansky in New Orleans. Mathews' name also appears in a CIA memo about Lansky's Cuban operations.
FBI File 124-10233-10012 (Ruby Informant Reports):
Contents: This newly added file (approximately 50 pages) contains FBI informant reports on Ruby's activities in Dallas nightclubs and his role as a "messenger" for larger organizations.
Lansky Reference: An informant (name redacted, but context suggests a Dallas police officer) reported on November 20, 1963, that Ruby was "moving money for Lansky's people," particularly through arms deals with Cuban exiles financed by Lansky.
The connections of Meyer-Lansky to Mossad are well documented. Even the Hollywood-Movie “Lansky” mentions that his swiss book keeper worked for Mossad.
Tibor Rosenbaum, a former rabbi and later banker, founded BCI in Geneva, which was used as a money laundering facility for Lansky's criminal proceeds, particularly from gambling operations in Cuba and Las Vegas. Rosenbaum had proven ties to the Mossad, having financed arms purchases for Israel in the 1950s and 1960s.1
JFK was fiercely opposed to the nuclear arms program of Israel.2 He and his brother RFK wanted the predecessor of AIPAC to register as a foreign agent.3
Therefore the ties of Jack Ruby to Meyer Lansky are highly significant. As far as I know the mainstream press didi not jump yet on these new revelations and probably never will.4 One of the files which which were given unredacted now show that the CIA wanted to redact that James Angleton ran several intelligence projects with “the Israeli Intelligence Service”.5 Many researches have concluded already that Angleton was likely part of the plot to kill John F. Kennedy.

As far as I know, not even independent journalists discovered these revelations in the new files yet. I fed Grok with the chapter of my latest book “The Open Secret” (not yet out in English) which deals with the possible Mossad connections to the JFK murder. After some leading questions he came up with the above mentioned files. But Grok also stated that not all files are indexed yet, so there might come out more in the coming days.
