Overview

  • Under a U.S.-brokered truce, Hamas released all 20 surviving Israeli hostages as Israel freed roughly 2,000 Palestinian detainees, with international monitoring underway.
  • Alyssa Farah Griffin praised President Trump, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on The View, calling the outcome a “massive diplomatic achievement.”
  • Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset during his regional visit as implementation of the exchange advanced, with reports noting expanded aid flows to Gaza.
  • A December 2024 clip of Griffin promising to wear a MAGA hat if hostages were freed resurfaced and was amplified by Donald Trump Jr. and other pro-Trump figures.
  • As of Tuesday, Griffin had reposted her praise on social media but had not worn the hat on-air, while co-hosts voiced cautious optimism about the ceasefire.
