After Yom Kippur, coverage opened with the aftermath of the Ein Rayah shooting, quoting Shukrun's son Yoav describing watching the gunman shoot his father after shouting to flee.
By morning Defense Minister Katz, citing intelligence Hamas planned to kidnap a soldier or civilian, warned that one abduction would trigger evacuation of Gaza City's million residents southward and its destruction.
Attention then moved to New York for the General Assembly opening, where Guterres condemned October 7 and called Gaza's killing unprecedented while urging two states, and Netanyahu arrived for a hours-long visit with no Trump meeting scheduled. Trump's address dominated the evening, framing Iran as celebrating October 7, vowing it would never have nuclear weapons and posing a choice between a post-midterms deal and destruction. Afterward he disclosed Witkoff and Kushner had met Iran's delegation for three hours, calling it very good, as Tehran offered to reopen Hormuz.
