Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen has been paid some $500,000 for a series of lectures in Jewish communities abroad, the Walla news website reports.
According to the unsourced report, Cohen went on a trip to Europe in October and will soon go on another to Australia, sponsored by the Keren Hayesod – United Israel Appeal organization, which raises funds for Israel in Jewish communities.
Cohen declines to comment on the report, which comes days after Channel 12 news reported that Cohen helped secure his daughter a job at a firm with links to a senior Emirati official while still serving as head of the spy agency.
According to that report, Achinoam Cohen Ganonyan began working for Group 42 earlier this year before her father’s term as Mossad chief ended.
