Update: Israel tells the Security Council that Hamas must disarm and 'the ideology behind October 7 remains alive'

Oct. 15, 2026 — This updates our Oct. 15 report on the Security Council's Gaza debate, which did not include Israel's statement. Israel's representative told the Council that Hamas is still terrorizing the people of Gaza, must disarm and is not implementing the 20-point plan, and that the Council has still not designated Hamas a terrorist organization three years after the Oct. 7 attacks. "The ideology behind October 7 remains alive," he said.

The wall: The representative was not named in the UN's coverage.
