Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is planning to leave for the Middle East today. He is scheduled to leave this afternoon and with the U.S. brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas holding. And if last night's weekly rally in Tel Aviv is any guide, he is likely to receive a warm welcome. Here's NPR's Greg Myrie in Tel Aviv.
The crowd kept chanting, thank you, Trump. Thank you, Trump. Some in the crowd had placards of the president. They credit him for this ceasefire, and this is particularly true among the hostage families and their many supporters. They believe Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected earlier opportunities to end the war. And it is clear that Trump put extensive pressure on Netanyahu and Hamas to accept this deal now.
President Trump is expected to address the Israeli parliament and co-chair a Gaza peace summit in Egypt. Also tomorrow, Hamas is expected to release the remaining Israeli hostages. In Tennessee, officials believe there are no survivors from Friday's explosion that leveled a munitions plant southwest of Nashville. Chris Davis reports. is the Humphreys County Sheriff. At this time, we have not located any survivors, and we are making the assumption that all are deceased at this point. Officials say 16 people are now presumed dead. They initially said 18 were unaccounted for, but the whereabouts of two others have now been confirmed. It remains unclear what caused the blast. Searchers are combing the wreckage for clues to what happened.
Davis says it may be months before foul play can be ruled out. A federal appeals court blocking President Trump on deploying National Guard troops to the Chicago area.

What we're seeing is a general escalation of violence and the use of excessive force by ICE officers everywhere.

And from Washington, you're listening to NPR News. Hollywood star Diane Keaton has died. She appeared in iconic films such as Annie Hall, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and First Wives Club. NPR's Bob Mondello says she was a performer of impressive range.
She was featured in the Broadway musical Hair before she ever appeared on screen. And in the space of just six weeks, in 1972, she wowed audiences both in The Godfather and in Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam. Five years later, she won a Best Actress Oscar for the comedy Annie Hall, while also starring in the searing drama Looking for Mr. Goodbar. And that back and forth continued throughout her career, knockabout farce in the Father of the Bride movies, star-crossed romance in Something's Gotta Give, and even a cartoon mom to the title character in Finding Dory.
Will you sing the song, Jessica? Keep swimming.
