US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday visited the US-operated Civil Military Coordination Center, which monitors the ceasefire in Gaza from southern Israel.

Gabbard tells Fox News that 16 countries and 20 NGOS are currently operating out of the CMCC, including through intelligence sharing, which is why she made the visit.

“Intelligence supports not only security, and achieving lasting peace and stability for both Israelis and Palestinians,” she tells Fox News.

Gabbard also visited the Kerem Shalom Crossing along the Israel-Gaza border.

She is the latest high level US official to visit Israel in recent weeks, following President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, senior advisers Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and army chief Dan Caine.

Gabbard will reportedly meet tomorrow with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which may explain his request to shorten his cross-examination tomorrow in his criminal trial.
