In a very short message, NBA and NBPA issued a statement in support of Israel regarding its conflict with Palestine.
The NBA and NBPA mourn the horrific loss of life in Israel and condemn these acts of terrorism. We stand with the people of Israel and pray for peace for the entire region.

Israel declared war after “Gunmen from the Palestinian group Hamas rampaged through Israeli towns on Saturday, October 7, killing at least 250 Israelis and escaping with dozens of hostages in by far the deadliest day of violence in Israel since the Yom Kippur war 50 years ago.”
