A recent report by a British news outlet claims that Israel has been extensively monitoring and recording conversations at the Civil Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, where United States and allied personnel are stationed. The report alleges that both overt and covert recordings have taken place, prompting concerns among American and other international staff. The American base commander reportedly demanded an end to the recordings, while some foreign personnel were advised to avoid sharing sensitive information. In response, the Israeli military stated that it only documents meetings in a transparent and professional manner, denying any accusations of espionage or improper conduct.
