Israel is also monitoring the United States, US general is furious

Israel has been accused of monitoring the United States and other allies.

Israeli intelligence is conducting extensive surveillance on US forces and allies stationed at a US base in southern Israel. Multiple sources familiar with various meetings at the base have told the British daily Guardian this information.

After an alarming increase in Israeli intelligence activity at the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), the US commander of the base, Lieutenant General Patrick Frank, called an Israeli general and warned him. He said, "The recording here has to stop."

Representatives of other countries have also expressed concern about Israel's recording at the CMCC. The US military has refused to comment on the matter. The Israeli military (IDF) also declined to comment on General Frank’s demand to stop recording. In a statement, the IDF said, “The claim that we are actively participating in meetings and gathering intelligence on our partners is ridiculous.”

The CMCC was established last October to monitor the ceasefire, coordinate relief efforts, and determine the future of Gaza in light of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan. The US troops stationed there were tasked with increasing the flow of emergency aid to Gaza. However, Tel Aviv has routinely blocked humanitarian aid shipments, including food and medicine, from entering Gaza. This summer, the Israeli blockade pushed the Gaza Strip to the brink of famine.

The CMCC is located in a high-rise building in the industrial area of ​​Kiryat Gat, Israel. It is just 20 kilometers from the Gaza border. The building was previously used by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Israeli and American personnel are housed on separate floors of the building, and there are also designated rooms for allied countries.
