Hebrew Channel: Sharp Confrontation and Mutual Accusations between the U.S. and Israeli Armies Regarding Gaza

SadaNews Translation - Hebrew Channel 13 revealed on Wednesday evening that a sharp confrontation occurred between Israeli army officers and others from the U.S. command at the civil-military coordination center located in Kiryat Gat, south of Israel, which monitors the situation in Gaza.

According to the Hebrew channel, as translated by SadaNews, the confrontation took place after Israel rejected a U.S. request to hold a series of security talks on sensitive issues.

Senior Israeli officials accused the U.S. command of sometimes intervening excessively in operational matters that are managed independently by Israel, and its policies regarding them are clear, indicating that there are sensitive issues discussed since the beginning of the war, and Israel feels it does not need to discuss them with the United States.

Earlier this month, the British newspaper The Guardian reported that Israeli intelligence officials were monitoring and spying on U.S. and coalition forces at the coordination center.

According to sources mentioned in the report, the extent of the public and secret eavesdropping on conversations at the center led U.S. base commander Patrick Frank to summon a senior Israeli official and demand an immediate cessation of the recordings.

The United States did not comment on the report, while the Israeli army described it as absurd.
