6:01 am
iowa survives connecticut! good morning and welcome to "sunday today" on this april 7th. i'm willie geist. today marks six months since israel was attacked by hamas terrorists on october 7th, setting off a war whose ripples have been felt around the world. 1,200 israelis were killed that day, more than 130 still are being held hostage. the ensuing conflict has led to a humanitarian disaster in gaza with tens of thousands of civilians dead, causing a rift between the united states and israel that spilled onto a call this week between president biden and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but could there be a glimmer of hope this morning a live report from israel just ahead. then, we will turn to our "sunday focus" on tomorrow's total solar eclipse as the moon blocks out the sun for millions of you across the country. we'll tell you how it happens and when you can see it.
6:02 am
and later a special two-part "sunday sitdown" with larry david ahead of tonight's final episode ever of his iconic show, "curb your enthusiasm," as he reminisces, complains, and takes us on a stroll through the old neighborhood where so much of his comedy was born. >> there was a fruit stand right over there. that's where i got banned from. >> which became an episode. >> which became an episode. >> you gave me bad fruit. >> i had one that was terrible, and i wanted to return the others. what's wrong with that? >> an extended "sunday sitdown" with the one and only larry david. plus, another "life well lived" all later in the show. let's begin this morning with israelis marking six months since the heinous attack on october 7th that provoked a war in gaza with intense suffering on both sides this morning a major announcement from the israeli military could provide a sign of hope. what more can you tell us?
6:03 am
>> reporter: well, willie, some important information coming to us from the israeli military saying they are withdrawing a significant number of troops from the southern part of the gaza strip meaning they will only be leaving one brigade insigned of the enclave. the idf says it has concluded an operation in khan younis. the prime minister has promised to mount an offensive on rafah in the southern part of gaza. this comes a few days after what was described as a tense conversation between president biden and the israeli prime minister, who reportedly the president conditioned the continuing u.s. assistance to israel on a course change inside of the gaza strip. now the israeli government as a result it is believed of that same conversation has promised to open new aid routes, most
6:04 am
significantly in the north, though that has not happened yet. it's not something we've been able to observe. the situation inside of gaza, it has to be said, continues to remain dire. a world health organization team visited the shifa hospital saying the facilities there were completely destroyed and there was a stench of death all around. aid organizations say a large number of people are still very much in near famine conditions inside of the gaza strip. a couple more things, in israel today the funeral for the 47-year-old hostage whose body was retrieved by the israeli military back to israel proper a few days ago, and this is happening, as you mentioned, as the country marks six months since october 7th and on a day as well a senior adviser to the supreme commander in iran is saying that no israeli embassy is safe any longer. willie, back to you. >> a solemn day there in israel.
6:05 am
hala, thank you very much. the former supreme allied commander of nato and now nbc's chief international analyst, admiral, good morning. it's always great to have you with us. i wonder what you read in this pullback of israeli troops at least from one area of gaza. still, the invasion of rafah remains on the table. how much of this do you think is the result of that pressure that was applied this week by president biden in the phone call with prime minister netanyahu? >> i think a significant amount is a result of president biden leaning in appropriately on our friend and ally, israel, but doing so in a very pragmatic way, willie, simply saying, look, you have got to dial back the military operations here. so i think that's the significant factor. also, recall the israelis are largely a reserve army. they've had these reserves called up for exactly six
6:06 am
months. that's about the time in a u.s. context we would be seeking an opportunity to stand down reservists. and third and finally, hala's excellent reporting, the hostages, that internal pressure, i think, is starting to build on bibi netanyahu. let's hope the israelis do not go into rafah, going down to one brigade is a very good sign. >> more than 130 hostages still being held now for six months inside of gaza. admiral, let's look at the iranian side about this. we know the strike from the idf that took out some of the leadership of the iranian military inside of syria. iran has promised retaliation. they say no israeli embassy is safe. what do you expect to come here? >> the iranians are clearly telegraphing they are going to conduct a strike. i would say it will be some time in the next week if not a bit sooner. number two, they'll probably move proportionally here,
6:07 am
meaning that they'll go after an embassy somewhere of israel, somewhere they could have a lot of capability t. could be be in south america. it could be in sub-saharan africa. iran has tentacles all around the world. look for a strike. look for proportionate -- here is a sliver of good news. what i don't perceive is iran escalating the conflict here. iran doesn't want a wider war in the region. they're not prepared for one. so i think it will be a very proportional, very precise strike against an israeli diplomatic compound, not a wider war. >> admiral james stavridis, former supreme allied commander of nato. thanks for your time. >> thanks, willie. former president trump held a fund-raiser in south florida last night as he gears up for what likely will be the most presidential presidential campaign in history while trailing president biden in the
6:08 am
money race. nbc's marissa parra is in florida. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. former president trump securing $50.5 million in donation commitments saying the fund-raiser hosted at the whom of investor john paulson. last night mr. trump framed this as a record-setting night that was a sign of a uniting republican party. you can see former first lady melania attended that event that looked, in part, to show him winning the support of major republican donors who have been reluctant to back him. the figures last night roughly double what democrats raised for president biden at an event at radio city music hall involving, of course, president biden and former presidents obama and clinton. the dnc released their own numbers that show overall in the month of march president biden's re-election campaign has outpaced mr. trump's, raising $90 million for the month of march alone, and $192 million
6:09 am
plus in cash on hand by the end of the quarter. the rnc saying trump raised $65.6 million last month, so, willie, i know this is a lot of numbers. but really, as the election gets closer, these campaigns are working hard not just to raise money but to convey this image of strength for the voters they're trying to woo. >> it will be a long, expensive campaign. marissa parra in miami, thanks so much. if you live in oregon, you might be a billionaire this morning. lottery officials say a single winning powerball ticket was sold there worth $1.3 billion. the lucky ticket ends a record-sighing streak of 41 consecutive drawings without a winner. check these numbers to see if you are the one. they are 22-27-44-52-69 with the number 9 as the powerball. i have always wanted to read winning lottery numbers. i just need that machine with the ping-pong balls next time.
6:10 am
the uconn huskies and the purdue boilermakers arguably the best teams all year will meet for the men's national championship after their wins last night. but the biggest buzz in college hoops is around the women. nbc's jesse kirsch is outside the arena in cleveland where caitlin clark and the iowa hawkeyes will face undefeated south carolina for the national championship in just a few hours. jesse, good morning. >> reporter: willie, good morning. one team is trying for a perfect season. the other hoping to bring home its first-ever women's tournament title. all it have wrapping up a march madness like we've never seen. >> purdue in pursuit of a championship -- >> reporter: this morning purdue's redemption tour is headed to the title game. >> it's good. >> reporter: the boilermakers besting nc state last night, making their first national championship appearance since 1969. >> it is the one we've been talking about all year. it's the one we've been talking about for four years now. >> reporter: then uconn versus

6:12 am
at the same time, it would be for every iowa woman basketball player that has come before us. >> caitlin clark. >> reporter: that was clear in cleveland on saturday. >> all of these people are here to see the hawkeyes and caitlin clark practice. no question she is leaves her mark on this game when she goes pro. >> reporter: iowa has never won the women's tournament. but, win or lose, number 22 has changed the game. >> it's like a dream to us. >> reporter: and this is expected to be a record-setting game. espn says each of iowa's last two games have been the most watched women's college basketball games ever. the final four game peaked at 17 million viewers, what espn says its most watched basketball game, any basketball game, ever. willie? >> wow. and she brought 11,000 people to show up for practice. cannot wait to watch that game today. don't sleep on south carolina. undefeated. they're one of the best teams we've ever seen.
