Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has apologized for his long friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, while former US President Donald Trump stated that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen." These developments come as actor Jeremy Piven discusses the potential for his "Entourage" character to exist in today's Hollywood and a new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled. Additionally, Prince Andrew faces accusations of sharing a Treasury document with a banking contact.
Barak's apology, published on February 14, 2026, stemmed from his years-long friendship with Epstein, which included regular correspondence, multiple visits to Epstein's Manhattan apartment, and a visit to his private island, according to Euronews. Barak stated he never observed or took part in any inappropriate behavior, and assumed Epstein had paid his debt to society.
Meanwhile, Trump, speaking to reporters at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, justified the US's decision to deploy another aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to the Middle East. He declared that regime change in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen," according to Sky News.
In other news, actor Jeremy Piven, known for his role as Ari Gold in "Entourage," believes his character could still exist in today's Hollywood. Piven told Fox News Digital that Gold's brash demeanor could be a great comedic premise, even in the current climate.
The gaming world is also buzzing with the announcement of an "Untitled John Wick Game," a video game based on the action film series. The game, developed by Saber Interactive, will feature the likeness and voice of Keanu Reeves and is expected to be a prequel to the series. A trailer for the game was unveiled at PlayStation's "State of Play" showcase, according to BBC Technology.
Finally, Prince Andrew is facing scrutiny over allegations that he shared a Treasury document with a business contact. Emails published in the Telegraph suggest that in 2010, Prince Andrew requested information from Treasury officials on banking problems in Iceland and shared the briefing with Jonathan Rowland, a business connection, according to BBC Business. This has raised concerns about the misuse of his public role.
