The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin heaped praise on former President Donald Trump and his team for their pivotal role in securing the release of Israeli hostages, calling it a 'massive diplomatic achievement'. Griffin, who pledged to wear a MAGA hat if Trump achieved this goal, highlighted the impact of the October 7th Hamas terror attack, which affected Jews worldwide. She credited Trump, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner for their direct negotiations with Hamas, acknowledging that sometimes peace requires difficult negotiations with evil actors. The deal, which also freed 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, was celebrated by Trump at the Israeli Knesset, where he envisioned a new Middle East rising from the war's aftermath. Co-host Sara Haines noted Hamas's weakened position, while Sunny Hostin shared her daily prayers for a peaceful resolution to the devastating conflict in Gaza, despite her lack of explicit mention of Trump.
