4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeffrey Feltman, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:
“The report stresses that ISIL and its affiliates have continued to experience significant military setbacks, which has undermined ISIL's ability to hold territory, generate assets and maintain "governmental" structures.”
5. Med shot, delegates
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeffrey Feltman, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:
“ISIL is attempting to adapt to this new reality and has intensified its efforts at extortion, to compensate for the loss of revenue from oil. In Iraq and Syria, ISIL's previous success in holding territory and operating as a quasi-State has been significantly challenged due to the efforts of several Member States.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeffrey Feltman, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:
“Increasingly complex and nearly simultaneous attacks in different countries--committed through large-scale operations and individual or small terrorist cells, either directed or inspired by ISIL--have a significant impact and present particular problems to Member States in terms of the security response. ISIL continues to assert itself in cyberspace, using closed fora, encrypted messaging systems, and communications through the "dark net" to recruit and distribute its propaganda.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeffrey Feltman, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:
“If we aim to anticipate new terrorist threats and dynamically address the evolving nature of ISIL, military, security and law enforcement measures need to be complemented with preventive actions that address the drivers of violent extremism conducive to terrorism, as demonstrated by the focus provided by the Security Council. Nevertheless, to effectively address the growing transnational threat of terrorism and violent extremist, I would like to underscore the importance of political will.”
