Allies Under Surveillance: Israel Spying on Officials, Taking Control at the Gaza Aid Center
Investigation exposes Israeli intelligence monitoring inside CENTCOM’s Gaza coordination hub, deepening concerns over Zionist control of aid, surveillance of allies, and the collapse of the ceasefire
United States, PUREWILAYAH.COM — A new investigation by The Guardian has revealed that Israeli occupation forces have been covertly collecting data on US and allied personnel inside the Civil–Military Coordination Center (CMCC)—the body nominally responsible for administering the fragile, two-month-old ceasefire and coordinating humanitarian aid into besieged Gaza.
The revelation widens the rift between Washington and Tel Aviv, confirming long-standing fears that the Zionist entity treats even its closest partners as intelligence targets while tightening its grip over every aspect of Gaza’s humanitarian lifeline.
US commander Lt Gen Patrick Frank reportedly confronted his Israeli counterpart after discovering that occupation officers were making transcripts, recordings, and extensive notes of internal CMCC conversations.
“Recording has to stop here,” Frank warned—only for the occupation forces to dismiss the concern, insisting that surveillance was part of “professional protocols.”
Israeli Control Undermines Aid Efforts as Gaza Faces Famine
Although the CMCC is presented as a joint initiative between the US, UK, Israel, and the UAE, the investigation shows that the center operates according to Zionist security priorities, not humanitarian needs.
Staff from multiple countries have been advised to avoid sharing sensitive information inside the facility, fearing it will be intercepted by Israeli intelligence units embedded within the center.
Meanwhile, Gaza continues to suffer a man-made famine and catastrophic deprivation as “Israel” blocks or restricts shipments of food, medicine, water-purification supplies, and basic materials such as tents and school stationery. US officials privately acknowledge that Tel Aviv remains in full control of aid entry:
“They remain the hand, and the CMCC has become the glove,” a US official admitted.
Dozens of US logistics specialists deployed to accelerate aid deliveries resigned within weeks, concluding that Israeli restrictions—not infrastructure challenges—were the primary obstacle.
“Yellow Line” Expansion Gives Cover for Continued Attacks
The investigation also reveals that “Israel” has repeatedly expanded its unilateral “yellow line” operational boundary, reclassifying new civilian areas as military zones and granting itself fresh pretexts for bombardment. These shifts have accompanied persistent ceasefire violations, including near-daily killings of Palestinian civilians.
Diplomats working inside the CMCC warn that the Zionist entity’s manipulation of humanitarian processes directly facilitates continued military aggression.
Palestinians Excluded as CMCC Becomes a US–Israeli Vehicle
Despite public claims of “international cooperation,” Palestinian representatives are completely barred from the CMCC. Even attempts to include them by video link were cut off by Israeli officials, according to multiple sources.
US military documents obtained by the Guardian reportedly avoid the terms “Palestine” or “Palestinian,” referring to Gaza’s population only as “Gazans”—a depersonalizing terminology that mirrors the occupation’s efforts to erase Palestinian national identity.
During his visit to the CMCC, Zionist Prime Minister and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu portrayed the hub as an exclusively US-Israeli initiative, with official photos excluding all other partners.
Diplomats Warn of Legal Risks and Humanitarian Misconduct
Staff inside the CMCC describe a highly militarized environment where humanitarian considerations are subordinated to Israeli demands. Aid teams refer to Gaza’s starving population as “end users,” while meeting agendas use tone-deaf labels such as “Wellness Wednesdays” for a territory with bombed hospitals and “Thirsty Thursdays” in a place where children die searching for drinkable water.
Some diplomats fear the center may violate international law, lacks any mandate, and could undermine prospects for a Palestinian state. Yet withdrawing, they warn, would surrender humanitarian planning entirely to the occupation and Washington.
“We are unsure how much to invest,” one diplomat said. “But this is the only chance we have of the Americans listening.”
CMCC Influence Declines as Israel Tightens Grip on Gaza’s Future
The influence of the CMCC is already fading, with many US personnel quietly returning home after completing short rotations. The Zionist entity continues to weaponize aid and block reconstruction, while insisting that the ceasefire cannot advance until Hamas is “fully demilitarized”—a goal it has failed to achieve after two years of genocidal warfare.
A UN commission of inquiry and numerous humanitarian organizations have already concluded that “Israel” is committing genocide in Gaza. Yet US officials decline to provide any timeline for implementing CMCC proposals.
“The US military is not at the heart of this,” an official said. “It falls more into the political world.”
In practice, the investigation shows that Tel Aviv remains firmly in control—surveilling its allies, obstructing aid, violating the ceasefire, and shaping Gaza’s future without Palestinian participation.
As Gaza starves and the ceasefire crumbles, the CMCC increasingly appears as another diplomatic instrument enabling the Zionist project rather than restraining it. (PW)
