Former Israeli PM’s Spy Firm Now Helping Flock Cameras Roll Out America’s Surveillance Network

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was a frequent guest of Jeffrey Epstein, a financial beneficiary of the convicted sex offender, and a reported Mossad-linked confidant. Now he is connected to the Flock Safety cameras appearing in cities and towns across America.

The stated purpose is public safety. The money—and the connections—tell a far more disturbing story.

This is the Flock Condor Camera. It uses AI to track humans. It can pan, move, even zoom in and follow your every footstep. It specifically tracks humans across an area

In March 2025, Flock Safety raised $275 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), valuing the surveillance company at $7.5 billion. Flock has now raised over $950 million total and crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue.

But here’s what they’re not telling you.

Andreessen Horowitz is also backing Toka—an Israeli cyber-intelligence firm co-founded by Ehud Barak, Israel’s former PM and Epstein handler.

Toka is not a surveillance company. Toka is a hacking company. According to a 2022 Haaretz investigation, Toka’s tools allow government clients to locate networked cameras in a target area, hack into them, watch live feeds, and alter or erase both live and recorded footage—without leaving forensic traces.

“Discover, Hack, Alter”

Toka’s business model is simple. Its core capabilities are listed as “Discover, Hack, and Alter” . The company’s technology can locate security cameras and even webcams within a given range, infiltrate them, watch their feeds, and change both real-time video and past recordings.

Imagine the implications. Your alibi? Deleted. The footage that proves your innocence? Altered. And no one would ever know.

The A16z Pipeline

The connection runs deeper than money. Since 2024, Andreessen Horowitz has pivoted aggressively toward the Israeli market, hosting exclusive Tel Aviv events designed to recruit graduates from elite Israeli intelligence units—specifically Unit 8200 and Unit 81 . These units are taxpayer-funded incubators for startups that are later capitalized by a16z.

This isn’t speculation. TechCrunch reported that Toka is actively hiring a “Client Director USA” to support “new business growth within the US government market,” specifically targeting the Department of Defense and national security agencies . They’re also hiring a customer success engineer experienced with federal law enforcement.

Toka Targets U.S. Law Enforcement

Toka has publicly stated it only sells to “militaries, homeland security organizations, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in the United States and its closest allies”.

The company is listed as attending conferences in the UAE and has hired a vice president of international sales who previously worked for Cellebrite, another controversial Israeli cyber firm . In 2021, Toka was in talks with U.S. Special Operations Command and an unnamed U.S. intelligence agency.

The same venture capital firm that controls America’s largest police camera network is funding the company that can hack into them.

The Nightmare Scenario

Flock places 100,000 cameras across America, available to 5,000 law enforcement agencies . Toka can hack into cameras, alter footage, and erase evidence.

Two companies. One investor. Zero oversight.

A license plate reader on a golf course makes no sense. A people tracker on a golf course makes perfect sense—if you’re building a mass surveillance state. And when the footage can be altered? That’s not surveillance. That’s control.

As one report put it: “You could be arrested based on video that never happened.”
