President Trump celebrated the peace deals struck between Israel and Hamas, crediting his administration along with the leaders of Qatar and Turkey. While on Air Force One, Trump said he would like to visit Gaza one day. I'd like to do it. I'd like to put my feet on it at least.

The Friday morning blast was powerful. Vibrations were recorded hundreds of miles away from the small Tennessee town. There's little left of the factory building, but chemical clues were splattered across the blast zone. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says the investigation will likely take months.
