Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and former White House Advisor and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner for their efforts in achieving a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. The ceasefire and hostage deal is part of a plan backed by President Trump that could see the end of the conflict in Gaza.

Nov. 13, 2025, 5:00 PM ESTBy Rebecca KeeganOscar voters are getting some extra homework this awards season.An email obtained by NBC News shows how Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members must confirm that they have watched all the movies nominated in each category in order to be allowed to vote. The email, which has not previously been made public, provided guidance on what steps the more than 10,000 voting academy members need to take ahead of the final Oscar ballot deadline March 5. The academy has long required members who vote in certain preliminary rounds, such as those who determine the short list for international films, to confirm that they have watched a group of assigned movies. In April, it revised that policy to note that academy members must watch every Oscar-nominated film in order to vote. The email appears to be the first time the organization is offering detailed information on how the new rule will be enforced. To be eligible to vote, members must watch all five films in each Oscar category and all 10 in the best picture category, the academy said. “You do not need to save movie stubs, tickets or receipts,” the academy wrote in its Oct. 30 email to its voting members. “This is an honor system.”A screenshot from the email sent to academy members Oct. 30.Obtained by NBC NewsWith the new policy, films that members watch on the Academy Screening Room (ASR), a streaming service run by the academy, will be automatically verified. For films that members watch elsewhere, such as at film festivals, private for-your-consideration events or a local multiplex, they must manually mark it “watched” on the streaming service, member website or academy app. “Keep an eye out for eligibility notifications prior to finals voting,” the academy said in its email. “Members will be notified of the categories in which they still need to watch films to be eligible to vote.”While largely applauding the intent of the new policy, three academy members, who declined to speak on the record to maintain professional relationships within the organization, pointed out that it will be difficult to police. Members can start a movie on the streaming service, for instance, but that doesn’t mean they’re actually watching it.The academy declined to comment. Partly the new rule’s timing reflects an evolution in how Oscar voters watch the nominated films. In 2019, the academy made its best picture nominees available on Academy Screening Room, and now the organization has its own data about who is — and isn’t — watching the nominees there. Academy members will be shown when they are eligible to vote in categories and how many films they have left to watch.Obtained by NBC NewsThe idea behind the new rule is to curtail a phenomenon in which academy members who are fans of certain films vote for it in every category on the ballot, regardless of whether they have seen all the other films in those categories. For example, Neon’s “Anora” swept the award show this year, taking home wins in five categories including best picture, best director for Sean Baker and best actress for Mikey Madison. But it’s unclear whether the people who voted for “Anora” multiple times watched other, less buzzy contenders, such as Amazon MGM’s “Nickel Boys,” which was nominated in the best picture and adapted screenplay categories, or Sony Pictures Classics’ “I’m Still Here,” which won international feature and was nominated in best actress for Brazil’s Fernanda Torres.The academy also made several other changes around the Oscars, including the introduction of a new award for achievement in casting, which will be given out in 2026, and an award for achievement in stunt design, which will be handed out for the first time in 2028.The Oscar nominations will be announced Jan. 26, and the 98th annual Academy Awards will take place March 15. Conan O’Brien, who hosted 2025’s ceremony, will return to the Oscars stage next year.Rebecca KeeganRebecca Keegan is the senior Hollywood reporter for NBC News Digital, where she covers the entertainment industry.

Trump says it's an 'honor' to be with Xi as meeting begins

Nov. 25, 2025, 3:58 PM ESTBy Ryan J. Reilly, Frank Thorp V, Kyle Stewart and Brennan LeachWASHINGTON — The FBI is working to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging members of the military and intelligence community not to comply with illegal orders, according to a person familiar with the efforts.The move, first reported by Fox News, comes days after President Donald Trump accused the Democrats, all of whom previously served in the military or in intelligence roles, of “seditious behavior.”Details of the investigation were not immediately clear. The lawmakers confirmed they had heard from the House or Senate Sergeants at Arms about the FBI effort.In a joint statement, four of the Democrats in the video accused Trump of “using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress.”“No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution,” the statement from Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania said. “We swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. We will not be bullied. We will never give up the ship.”The U.S. Capitol Police referred questions to the FBI, where a bureau spokesperson declined to comment. Justice Department guidelines require investigative steps against sitting members of Congress to go through an approval process within the Justice Department to ensure that federal law enforcement power isn’t being used for political purposes. But the Trump administration has dismantled the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, which traditionally served as a check on investigations into political figures. That office now has just two prosecutors, down from 36 at the beginning of Trump’s second term, according to a source familiar with the office.A spokesperson for Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said in a statement, “Senator Kelly won’t be silenced by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s attempt to intimidate him and keep him from doing his job as a U.S. Senator.” The Defense Department announced on Monday that it was opening an investigation into Kelly, a retired Navy captain, saying he was subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice as a retired member of the military. (The four House Democrats are former military but not retired, while another worked for the CIA.)Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., the former CIA officer, said on X that she is “not going to let this next step from the FBI stop me from speaking up for my country and our Constitution.” “The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place,” she said. “He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet. He uses legal harassment as an intimidation tactic to scare people out of speaking up.”Trump accused the lawmakers — all of whom previously served in the military or in intelligence roles — of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!,” but later claimed he was “not threatening death” for the six Democrats.In addition to the First Amendment issues at stake, the “speech or debate “clause of Article 1 and Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution gives members of Congress immunity from prosecution for acts taken within the legislative sphere, a fundamental check on the constitutional separation of powers.Ryan J.
