Overview

• A U.S.-brokered pause in fighting has taken hold as Hamas released the 20 surviving Israeli hostages and Israel began freeing roughly 1,900 to 2,000 Palestinian prisoners or detainees.
• Alyssa Farah Griffin praised the agreement on The View, calling it a “historic, massive diplomatic achievement” if it holds and crediting President Trump, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner for direct talks with Hamas.
• Other co-hosts offered cautious or noncommittal reactions, with praise for the reunions and relief efforts but limited willingness to credit Trump’s role, according to multiple reports.
• Trump addressed the Knesset, describing a “historic dawn” for the region and urging a shift from battlefield gains to a durable peace, as aid deliveries to Gaza were pledged at 600 trucks per day.
• Donald Trump Jr. resurfaced Farah Griffin’s December 2024 on-air promise to wear a MAGA hat if hostages were freed, prompting social media pressure; she has not indicated she will do so.
