<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Palantir
Technologies has a permanent desk at the U.S.-led
Civil Military Coordination Center (CMCC)
headquarters in southern Israel, three sources
from the diplomatic community inside the CMCC told
Drop Site News. According to the sources, the
artificial intelligence data analytics giant is
providing the technological architecture for
tracking the delivery and distribution of aid to
Gaza.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
presence of Palantir and other corporations\u2014along
with recent changes banning non-profits unwilling
to give data to Israeli authorities\u2014is creating a
situation in which the delivery of aid is taking a
backseat to the pursuit of profit, investment, and
the training of AI products, experts say.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>\u201cThe
United Nations already has a humanitarian
architecture in place to step in during crises,
abiding by humanitarian principles and grounded
in international law,\u201d UN Special Rapporteur for
the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca</span><strong>
</strong><span>Albanese told Drop Site. \u201cThis
profit-driven parallel system involving
companies like Palantir, already linked to
Israel\u2019s unlawful conduct, can only be regarded
as a monstrosity.\u201d</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
CMCC was established by U.S. Central Command
(CENTCOM) in October, one week after the so-called
ceasefire went into effect in Gaza to \u201cmonitor
implementation of the ceasefire\u201d and \u201chelp
facilitate the flow of humanitarian, logistical,
and security assistance from international
counterparts into Gaza.\u201d Last week, at the
inaugural summit of the Board of Peace in
Washington, D.C., Major General Jasper Jeffers\u2014who
was tapped in January to lead the International
Stabilization Force in Gaza\u2014announced that the
CMCC will serve as the Board of Peace\u2019s
operational headquarters.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">According
to the sources, a representative from Palantir
sits in the CMCC operations room where aid convoys
and distributions inside Gaza are monitored
through drone surveillance. The representative
integrates convoy and distribution-related data
into Palantir\u2019s systems, the sources said.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Palantir
did not respond to an inquiry from Drop Site on
its role in the CMCC or in aid distribution in
Gaza. Founded in 2003 by billionaire Peter Thiel
with the help of investments from the CIA\u2019s
venture capital arm In-Q-Tel, Palantir is known
for its work with government agencies, including
the U.S. military and Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).</p>

Bloomberg reported. Palantir did not disclose
what technologies would be provided to Israel
but a year earlier the company introduced its
Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to help
militaries rapidly analyze and identify bombing
targets. The company\u2019s technology has been
described by a Palantir executive as a way of
\u201coptimizing the kill chain.\u201d Palantir\u2019s software

<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
use of Palantir to track aid deliveries to Gaza is
of particular concern to observers. \u201cThe
distinction between death by drone and delivery of
aid is being evaporated while we all sit around
the same table,\u201d a source from the diplomatic
community who attends CMCC sessions told Drop
Site.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Palantir\u2019s
two main platforms are Gotham and Foundry.
\u201cGotham\u2019s targeting offering supports soldiers
with an Al-powered kill chain, seamlessly and
responsibly integrating target identification and
target effector pairing,\u201d according to the
company\u2019s website. Foundry is Palantir\u2019s platform
for supply chain management and is billed as a way
to \u201cbridge siloed planning and execution
processes, optimize inventory management, and help
build supply chain resilience for economic and
geopolitical uncertainty.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>Palantir
does not operate its systems in isolated silos.
According to the company\u2019s own </span><a
href="https://substack.com/redirect/44a8df33-b9be-42b6-8042-4ac38c5842a8?j=eyJ1IjoibHZwcGIifQ.9RIwWbE6EVIB7Jy8lfazxZKfps8R18neRGMKwOiqnRM"

\u201cPalantir AIP and Foundry are designed to
interoperate with the full range of data, logic,
AI, workflow, and security systems.\u201d A feature
called \u201cType Mapping\u201d allows data entered into
the civilian Foundry system to be instantly
synchronized and queried by the military\u2019s
Gotham platform.</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">This
means that, in theory, information that is being
gathered at the CMCC\u2014including from participating
governments the UN and NGOs regarding the type of
aid being distributed, its distribution locations
and systems, and truck convoy routes\u2014could be
seamlessly pulled into Gotham\u2019s AI targeting
matrix. The same software logic used to track aid
at the CMCC could be used to optimize and
accelerate lethal airstrikes.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">There
is no information available as to whether Gotham
and Foundry are the specific products being used
to track aid, but publicly available photographic
evidence indicates that Palantir\u2019s Gaia\u2014a platform
referred to on their website as a tool to \u201cbring
the battlefield into view\u201d\u2014is being deployed at
the CMCC.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
an interview with Drop Site on the role of
Palantir in Gaza, the economist Yanis Varoufakis,
the former Greek Finance Minister and a former
member of Greece\u2019s parliament, described an
encounter he had with a Palantir representative
who had explained to him the benefit the company
gained from Gaza. \u201cHe was saying that \u2018as the
bombs fell we were having a party,\u2019\u201d Varoufakis
said. According to Varoufakis, the Palantir
representative explained how the chaos of intense
violence in a high-density urban area like Gaza
generates substantial data for training their AI
models on how humans respond under stress. \u201cThe
more bombardment and havoc, the better the
training,\u201d Varoufakis said.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cIt\u2019s
one thing to say that companies like Lockheed
Martin make money selling F35s to the Israelis,\u201d
he said. \u201cThat has been a time-honored way that
the military industrial complex has benefited from
war and genocide and war crimes.\u201d He continued,
\u201cThis is the first instance in history where it is
the suffering of a people being subjected to
genocide and bombing\u2014the suffering itself\u2014which is
adding to the capital of a company which then uses
that capital to produce commodities to sell
elsewhere.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Palantir
operates on Oracle\u2019s cloud infrastructure, led by
Larry Ellison\u2014a major donor to the Israeli
military who also funds the Tony Blair Institute,
which has itself consulted on governance
mechanisms for Gaza.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
growing use of Palantir and other private sector
companies in Gaza comes as the non-profit sector
is being systematically squeezed out. As of March
1, 2026, Israel will ban dozens of aid groups from
operating in Gaza, as well as the West Bank and
East Jerusalem, under new registration rules,
including prominent NGOs such as Doctors Without
Borders, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, and
Medical Aid for Palestinians.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
new measures require aid groups to register the
names and contact information of employees and to
provide details about their funding and operations
to Israeli authorities. The aid groups said in a
joint statement this week that \u201cthe demand to
transfer personal data raises acute security and
legal risks. It exposes national staff to
potential retaliation and undermines established
data protection and confidentiality safeguards.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cNGOs
are being pushed out of Gaza because aid delivered
by humanitarian organizations is based on need and
is provided to people wherever they are located,\u201d
said an aid worker who spoke to Drop Site on
condition of anonymity. \u201cThis doesn\u2019t match the
vision of the \u2018New Gaza\u2019 where Palestinians will
need to be displaced again into the zones where
reconstruction will be permitted and their access
to aid will be controlled through screening.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Not
all NGOs are being pushed out of Gaza. Others\u2014on a
list of registered and approved organizations\u2014are
expanding their role alongside the private sector.
These include Christian groups like Samaritan\u2019s
Purse and GAiN, both of whom were involved in the
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), and who
sources from the diplomatic community have
recently seen gathering in a \u201cprayer circle\u201d at
the CMCC.</p>

style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">These
approved NGOs, alongside private firms coordinated
through the CMCC like Palantir, stand ready to
take over the distribution of aid in Gaza.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cAid
in Gaza has been stripped to bare survival and its
future delivery appears to be faith based, profit
driven, militarized and certainly not to be
delivered by anyone that dares to speak out about
what Palestinians are being subjected to,\u201d said a
senior aid worker who spoke to Drop Site on
condition of anonymity.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Gaza\u2019s
experience with private delivery mechanisms has
been catastrophic. In May 2025, the U.S. and
Israeli-backed GHF was contracted to distribute
aid in the enclave. During the four and half
months the GHF operated in Gaza, more than 2,600
Palestinians seeking food were killed and over
19,000 wounded by Israeli forces or security
contractors at or near aid distribution sites.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
former headquarters of the GHF, a large
warehouse-style building in Kiryat Gat, is now the
headquarters of the CMCC.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">As
aid groups are being banned, U.S. military
contractors are also filling the vacuum. According
to sources from the diplomatic community who
attend the CMCC, the physical presence of Safe
Reach Solutions (SRS), a U.S. military contractor
that provided security for the GHF, has recently
expanded at the center of the facility, with SRS
officials taking up more prominent seating space
on the operations floor. The company\u2019s
representatives now sit behind name tags in
seating that had previously been reserved for UN
agencies, the sources said.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">SRS
did not respond to an inquiry from Drop Site about
its role at the CMCC or in Gaza aid distribution.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cGiven
the precedent of the GHF, which turned aid
delivery into a killing machine,\u201d Albanese told
Drop Site, \u201cand the grave violations of
international law embedded in the so-called peace
plan\u2014first and foremost the negation of the
Palestinian right to self-determination\u2014the risk
that companies and states involved in the CMCC may
be complicit in, or even direct perpetrators of,
international crimes is real.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>Arkel
International, a longtime U.S. military
contractor, has also had representatives at CMCC
briefing sessions, according to the sources
inside the center. Arkel recruited drivers from
Serbia and Georgia to drive supplies into Gaza
for the GHF in 2025, </span><a

moz-do-not-send="true">according</a><span> to
Haaretz. At the time, Arkel was represented in
Israel by businessman Hezi Bezalel, who has
served as honorary consul of Rwanda in Israel.</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
re-emergence of GHF-linked companies, alongside
the digital capacity to monitor and monetize the
surviving population in Gaza, is now converging
with the construction of a new physical
infrastructure spearheaded by giant real estate
conglomerates. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">At
last week\u2019s Board of Peace meeting, the
reconstruction of Gaza was positioned as a massive
financial \u201cunlocking\u201d of a distressed asset.
Figures like Yakir Gabay, who built a real estate
empire in Germany, envisioned the coastline
transformed into a \u201cMediterranean Riviera\u201d
featuring 200 hotels and artificial islands. Marc
Rowan, a billionaire investor and the CEO of
Apollo Global Management, framed the project as
the consolidation of Gaza\u2019s \u201cproductive assets\u201d
into a \u201cunified structure.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">A
significant addition to the CMCC\u2019s corporate
roster is Terra Firma Capital Partners, which
sources confirmed now maintains a permanent
presence at the CMCC. Founded by British financier
Guy Hands, the firm brings experience in managing
massive-scale residential assets. Terra Firma has
links to the New Labour era, specifically through
Lord John Birt, Tony Blair\u2019s former strategy
director, who worked for the company after he left
government.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cThe
genocide is entering a new phase. After the
destruction of Gaza and the erasure of entire
family lines, powerful states are now deciding the
fate of the survivors without ever listening to
their voices,\u201d Albanese said. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cIf
Gaza is not to become a capitalist
techno-dystopia, the time to act is now. States
and corporations supporting this emerging
infrastructure must be stopped, and held
accountable. There is no time to lose.\u201d</p>
