On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, the United Nations Security Council met to examine the ongoing threat posed by the terrorist group ISIL, also known as Da’esh, to international peace and security.
At a conference held in June 2026, the acting head of the UN counter-terrorism office highlighted that Al Qaeda, Da’esh, and their affiliates “remain adaptive and resilient.” The official further noted that these groups are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to expand their reach, recruit members, and mobilize resources.
The meeting underscores the global community’s concern over the evolving nature of terrorism and the need for coordinated efforts to counter these threats.
