Overview
- The Guardian reports Israeli operatives recorded meetings at the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center, including covertly, according to sources.
- US base commander Lt Gen Patrick Frank summoned an Israeli counterpart and said that recording at the facility must stop.
- The IDF denied spying on partners, saying it routinely documents meetings in a transparent, unclassified manner and calling the claim absurd.
- Allied personnel have limited information-sharing over concerns data could be collected and exploited, while the US military declined public comment.
- Set up in October to monitor the ceasefire and coordinate aid, the center excludes Palestinian representation, and sources say dozens of US personnel have already rotated home as its role appears to wane.
