Oct. 1, 2025, 10:10 AM EDTBy Chantal Da SilvaMore than 150 American doctors, nurses and other medical workers who volunteered in Gaza over the past nearly two years on Wednesday called on the Trump administration to end its support for Israel’s war in the besieged enclave.In a letter addressed to President Donald Trump and shared exclusively with NBC News, the 152 American health workers who volunteered in Gaza described their experiences and called on the administration to end the U.S.’ “military, economic and diplomatic support” for Israel’s offensive.A wounded child is brought to Al-Awda Hospital in the central Gaza Strip last month.Eyad Baba / AFP via Getty Images“This is the right thing to do, and we believe it is required under both American and international law,” states the letter from doctors who have volunteered in Gaza with organizations including Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders, MedGlobal, the International Medical Corps and others.“Everybody that goes over there is horrified by what they see,” Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon based in Stockton, California, who organized the letter, told NBC News in a phone interview. “And you know, most of us know that it’s mostly American weapons that are being used.” Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, center, assists with a surgery in Gaza.According to health officials in the enclave, Israeli forces have killed more than 65,000 Palestinians since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and resulted in about 250 kidnapped. The U.S. approved at least $17.9 billion in security assistance for Israeli military operations in Gaza and elsewhere from Oct. 7, 2023 through September 2024, according to estimates from Brown University’s Costs of War Project.“It’s very strange to know that your government is sending the weapons that you’re pulling out of kids’ faces,” Sidhwa added, noting the U.S.’ role as Israel’s closest ally and biggest arms supplier. The letter, which was sent to Trump’s office Wednesday by email and physically mailed the same day, comes two days after the president unveiled a peace plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he said could bring an end to the war in Gaza and see hostages held there released.Hamas has signaled it will respond to the peace plan soon. If the group which has run Gaza since 2007 rejects it, Trump warned, Israel would have U.S. backing to “finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas.”Dr. Kathleen Gallagher, a general and acute care surgeon in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and a signatory of the letter, left Gaza a few days ago after spending more than three weeks there. The U.S. Army veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who has also worked in Ukraine, said that what she witnessed in Gaza was “far and above the worst, just the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”A Palestinian man cradles a body after Israeli attacks in Gaza City last month.

Malnutrition appeared widespread, while every day Nasser Hospital where she spent most of time was flooded with the wounded and the dead. The hunger crisis in Gaza spiraled this past year under Israel’s offensive and aid blockade, with the world’s leading authority on hunger declaring famine in areas of the enclave’s north in August.Gallagher said nearly half of the patients she treated were gunshot victims. She added almost all of them had been struck while seeking aid. Those shot were “disproportionately young males” with injuries often including single shots to the head and “lots of very accurate neck shots.” A boy injured in an attack on Nuseirat camp being treated at Al-Awda Hospital last month.Moiz Salhi / Anadolu via Getty ImagesIn one case, she said, a 6-month-old girl was brought to the facility after being shot as her mother tried to get aid. The baby did not survive. Gallagher said around 45% of the patients she saw had suffered “explosive injuries.” Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency physician, another signatory, said doctors and other medical workers spent the past nearly two years treating patients with a health care system under relentless attack — and with scarce supplies with limited aid coming in.“They’ve tried to serve their people in just this absolutely heroic way, but they’ve been targeted this entire time,” he said in a phone interview.

Meanwhile, the wider health system, including ambulances and field hospitals, have been attacked more than 780 times, with more than 1,500 health workers killed, according to the United Nations.Israel says Hamas uses hospitals and medical centers for military activities, including as “command and control” hubs, opening them to attack. Hamas has denied doing so, while humanitarian groups and the U.N., have said that Israel has not provided sufficient evidence to substantiate its claims. The letter’s signatories also said they had never seen “any type of Palestinian militant activity” in Gaza’s hospitals or other health care facilities during their combined more than 460 weeks working within the health system. Sidhwa said he was aware of just one U.S. doctor having treated someone who appeared to be a combatant at one point, but said that did not suggest activity within the hospital.Sidhwa, who also organized multiple letters to the Biden administration, said he was hopeful the voices of more than 150 American medical workers who have experienced Israel’s offensive on the ground would have some impact on the Trump administration, despite Washington’s stalwart support for Israel and its offensive.“Most of the doctors that come back think it’s traumatic,” Sidhwa said. “But for me, it’s not the death and the guts.” “It’s really just knowing that we’re responsible for it.”Chantal Da SilvaChantal Da Silva reports on world news for NBC News Digital and is based in London.

Oct. 24, 2025, 5:00 AM EDTBy Gary Grumbach and Dareh GregorianNew York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime political foe of President Donald Trump who previously sued him for making misleading statements to banks, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in federal court on bank fraud charges.A grand jury in Virginia indicted James, a Democrat, this month, weeks after Trump posted a message on Truth Social pressing Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against her and two other political adversaries.James is charged with one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution. The indictment alleges she falsely claimed that a home in Norfolk, Virginia, was her second residence, allowing her to obtain favorable loan terms, and that she rented the property to a family of three.The indictment indicates she is alleged to have saved about $50 a month.After she was charged, James called the allegations “baseless” and said Trump’s “own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost.”James’ office brought a civil fraud suit against Trump and his company in 2022. It alleged they were submitting misleading financial statements to banks and insurers, exaggerating his net worth by billions of dollars and enabling Trump and his company to obtain bank loans and insurance policies at rates they were not entitled to. As a result, James’ office has said, he “reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.”Trump was found liable for fraud and hit with a $464 million judgment last year. A divided state appeals court upheld the fraud finding in August but tossed out the financial penalty, finding it was “excessive.” Trump has denied wrongdoing in the case and is appealing the fraud finding.James is the third prominent Trump critic to be arraigned on federal criminal charges in the past three weeks.John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, was arraigned last week, while former FBI Director James Comey was arraigned the week before that. Both pleaded not guilty.James and Comey were indicted after Trump’s former personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan was named acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.Her predecessor, Erik S. Siebert, resigned under pressure last month after Trump said he wanted him “out.” NBC News previously reported that both the Comey and the James investigations were stalled during Siebert’s tenure because federal agents and prosecutors did not believe they had the evidence to secure convictions.Comey has challenged the legality of Halligan’s appointment, something James’ attorneys said in a court filing Thursday that they plan to do, as well.Halligan was sworn in days after Trump’s social media post urging Bondi to take action against James, Comey and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.Schiff is being investigated in Maryland over allegations of mortgage fraud, and he has denied any wrongdoing. NBC News, citing four people familiar with the investigation, reported Thursday that the investigation has stalled, with prosecutors believing they do not have enough evidence to bring charges.Gary GrumbachGary Grumbach is an NBC News legal affairs reporter, based in Washington, D.C.Dareh GregorianDareh Gregorian is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Savewith a NBCUniversal ProfileCreate your free profile or log in to save this articleOct. 20, 2025, 4:57 PM EDTBy Andrew GreifWhen the 2025-26 NBA season returns Tuesday, some things will not have changed in years.Though Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry is now 37, and the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James 40 (and will begin the season sidelined by injury), the two superstars remain undisputed headliners a decade after the first of their four consecutive meetings in the NBA Finals. The sheer wattage of their stardom has barely dimmed, and it’s why their teams will meet in one of Tuesday’s opening-night matchups.But the other opening-night tipoff will take place in Oklahoma City, where the Thunder will receive the championship rings they earned by winning Game 7 of June’s NBA Finals over Indiana. Though the league’s old guard, led by Curry and James, remains formidable, the road to the championship trophy now runs through the uber-young Thunder, who spent the offseason signing their young core of stars to long-term deals. Haven’t paid attention to the NBA since the Thunder’s victory parade cruised through Oklahoma City in mid-June? Here’s everything you may have missed to get you up to speed.Who are the title contenders?Recent history suggests the Thunder will not be lifting the trophy again next June: The league hasn’t crowned a repeat champion in seven seasons, with Golden State (2017-18) the last to repeat. Yet the Thunder have an extremely compelling case for being prepared to break that streak. They return every consequential member of their rotation from last season’s playoff roster, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning most valuable player. That team won 68 games even though injuries sidelined big men Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein for about half a season each. This year, they start healthy.By trading for Phoenix’s Kevin Durant in June, Houston announced its intention to challenge Oklahoma City in the Western Conference. The Rockets remain a contender, but their case took a hit in the offseason after point guard Fred VanVleet suffered a knee injury that could sideline him the entire season.Denver, the 2023 champion, has superstar Nikola Jokic in his prime and has surrounded the virtuosic big man with the deepest roster in years. With so much uncertainty as to whether Philadelphia’s star pairing of Joel Embiid and Paul George can stay healthy, and Boston superstar Jayson Tatum set to miss at least a significant chunk of the season after tearing an Achilles tendon in May, the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers enter as the East’s top contenders. The Knicks have a new coach in Mike Brown, who will be tasked with finding a lineup that truly works. The Cavaliers won 64 games last season to earn the top seed in the East, but injuries contributed to their exit in just the second round of the playoffs. The team that knocked them out, the Indiana Pacers, is widely expected to take a step back after star guard Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles tendon during the finals.Key storylinesStart in Los Angeles, where Luka Doncic is beginning his first full season with the Lakers following last season’s shocking trade from Dallas. The Lakers are at a transition point in that their future will now be planned around the 26-year-old Doncic’s timeline and prime years and not James, for the first time since he joined the team in 2018. The all-time scoring leader, and an NBA champion with three different franchises, James has done everything possible in his career. But his 23rd season will mark something new, too — the first time he will be playing on an expiring contract. Where that leaves James and the Lakers at the trade deadline, or offseason, remains the subject of intense speculation. In Dallas the first overall pick of June’s draft, Cooper Flagg, will enter the season under high expectations. The 6-foot-9 Flagg averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his lone season at Duke while winning national honors for player of the year, and since entering the NBA has added a goatee and more ballhandling responsibilities, because Dallas will be without injured point guard Kyrie Irving until likely the late winter. Flagg won’t turn 19 until Dec. 21. Another former No. 1 pick in Texas, Victor Wembanyama, has been cleared to play again after experiencing blood clots last season. Wembanyama, 21, enters his fourth season in San Antonio under rising expectations. The NBA’s longest-tenured coach, Gregg Popovich, has moved into a front-office role, with former Spurs assistant Mitch Johnson his successor. Johnson knows Wembanyama is a one-man top-five defense, but how will the offense look as it blends Wembanyama, rookie Dylan Harper and veteran guard De’Aaron Fox, once Fox returns from an injury? Injuries in Boston and Indiana and injury rehabilitation in Philadelphia have put the Knicks and Cavaliers seemingly on a glide course to the playoffs in the East, but Detroit, Atlanta and Orlando, which pulled off a huge offseason trade for Memphis sharpshooter Desmond Bane, are seen as up-and-coming threats potentially ready for a breakthrough. But the biggest story in the East centers on Milwaukee, where the Bucks are desperately trying to ensure that star Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to remain with the franchise. League insiders don’t consider an Antetokounmpo trade imminent, but they do consider such a move as having the type of domino effect that could reshape the league and its contenders.New rulePlayers that fire a “heave” at the end of a quarter won’t see their shooting percentage penalized. A new rule this season changes how some statistics are kept. Plays that begin in the backcourt and result in a shot taken in the final three seconds of the first three quarters, from at least 36 feet away, will count as a team attempt, not an individual shot. Investigation dramaIn an offseason report by the podcast “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” former employees of a green-bank startup called Aspiration claimed the company’s lucrative but previously undisclosed endorsement deal with Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was brokered as a means for the team to compensate Leonard while circumventing the league’s salary cap — one of the NBA’s most fiercely protected rules. The NBA has hired a law firm to investigation the claims, which if proven could result in a suspension of team owner Steve Ballmer, a team fine and even the voiding of Leonard’s contract. The additional layer to the drama is that the NBA’s All-Star game will be hosted as Ballmer’s year-old arena, Intuit Dome, in February.

The NBA has been working on a model that would include 14-16 teams, the majority of which would be permanent clubs in cities like London, Paris and Berlin. Teams could also win their way into, and lose their way out of, the league’s remaining spots, which borrows from the relegation and promotion model that is central to European soccer leagues. The league’s meetings this summer were with private equity firms, political leaders including U.K. Prime Minster Keir Starmer and clubs such as Turkey’s Galatasaray, Germany’s Alba Berlin, and Spain’s Real Madrid. How to watch games has changedNew 11-year media rights deals signed between the NBA and broadcast partners NBC, ABC/ESPN and Amazon kick in this season, changing how games will be watched.For NBC, it’s the first time NBA games will air on the network since 2002. NBC and its streaming platform, Peacock, will air 100 regular-season games, NBA All-Star Weekend and playoff games, as well. Peacock will host games on Monday, and NBC and Peacock both will air games on Tuesday. In addition, starting at midseason, NBC/Peacock will air games Sunday night. Only ESPN will carry games on Wednesdays. Starting at midseason ESPN and ABC will also carry night games on Fridays and Saturdays and Sunday afternoon matchups.The third broadcast partner is a new one: Amazon Prime. It will carry games on Friday, and starting at midseason will also air games Thursdays and Saturday afternoon.The biggest change as a result of the new broadcast deals is that for the first time since 1984, Turner Sports and its cable network, TNT, will no longer host games. But TNT’s uber-popular studio show, “Inside the NBA,” will nonetheless live on at ESPN.Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.
