US-based artificial intelligence companies Palantir and Dataminr are set to play a central role in shaping the post-war security framework proposed for the Gaza Strip, a new report has revealed.

According to +972 Magazine, the companies have been integrated into the newly established Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), a US-run operational hub in the southern occupied territories where Washington and Israeli officials are coordinating the implementation of President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza.

Documents reviewed by +972 indicate that a “Maven Field Service Representative” from Palantir, linked to the company’s battlefield analytics platform Project Maven, has been assigned to the CMCC. The hub, located about 20 kilometers from Gaza’s northern boundary, opened in mid-October and currently hosts roughly 200 US military personnel.

Project Maven, which recently secured a $10 billion Pentagon contract for upgrades, integrates intelligence from satellites, drones, spy planes, intercepted communications, and online platforms into an AI-powered battlefield platform designed to accelerate military decision-making, including lethal airstrikes. Palantir executives have described the system as “optimizing the kill chain,” and it has previously been used in US operations in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.

The company has also expanded its collaboration with Israeli forces amid the ongoing war. Following a strategic agreement signed in January 2024, Palantir has supported “war-related missions” and doubled the size of its Tel Aviv office over the past two years. CEO Alex Karp has defended the company’s operations, framing it as the first to be “completely anti-woke” amid international criticism.

Dataminr; social media-oriented

Dataminr, a US surveillance firm specializing in AI-driven social media analysis, has also been involved in internal CMCC presentations. The company’s platform scans global social media streams in real time to provide “event, threat, and risk intelligence” and has partnered with X to give governments and law-enforcement agencies, including the FBI, broad access to public data.

Both companies are expected to influence the “Alternative Safe Communities” model outlined in the Trump plan, which envisions relocating Palestinian civilians into fenced and heavily monitored compounds under US and Israeli control. Within these zones, Palantir and Dataminr technologies would be used to track mobile phones, monitor online activity, analyze movement, and flag individuals deemed "security risks" by AI systems.

Critics argue that the arrangement mirrors predictive surveillance already deployed in Gaza over the past two years, including "Israel’s" AI-driven Lavender system, which created targeted lists of alleged Hamas affiliates that reportedly included public-sector workers, such as police and medical staff.
