Donald Trump Jr<\/a> is reminding The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin<\/a> of a promise she made about the release of Israeli hostages last year.<\/p>\n

Farah Griffin is a former White House director of strategic communications who worked under President Trump during his first term, but resigned and later revealed she voted for Kamala Harris in the last election.<\/a><\/p>\n

In December 2024, she spoke about her hopes and fears around Trump\u2019s second term, and claimed on air: \u201cIf he does good, if he gets the Israeli hostages out, I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show and say, \u2018Thank you for doing it!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The remark caused fellow host Sunny Hostin to respond: \u201cPlease don’t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Griffin joked that Hostin would \u201cknock it right off my head\u201d, she concluded: \u201cYou have to be able to cheer for wins when they happen and call out, relentlessly, the wrongdoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier today, President Trump hailed a \u201cmomentous\u201d breakthrough and \u201cthe new beginning for an entire beautiful Middle East\u201d after Israel and Hamas exchanged hostages and detainees.<\/a><\/p>\n

Emotional reunions took place across Israel, Gaza and the West Bank after all 20 living Israeli hostages and captives were released by Hamas, before Israel released more than 1,900 prisoners and detainees.<\/p>\n

In response to the news, Donald Trump Jr retweeted<\/a> the clip of Farah Griffin on The View from last December, along with the comment: \u201cSending this to the top. Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s episode of The View, Farah Griffin did not wear a MAGA hat but did praise Trump\u2019s role in securing the ceasefire, which she said would be a \u201chistoric, massive diplomatic achievement\u201d if the peace deal holds.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cI think everyone should be able to celebrate it. And listen, whether you like Trump or not, I think he, Steve Witkoff, and I think Jared Kushner do deserve credit for this deal. They personally met with Hamas. <\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be of the mind we don\u2019t negotiate with terrorists, but sometimes the only way to get peace is to sit down with some of the most evil people and try to come up with what we can do to end the bloodshed. So, thank God, I pray that this peace holds.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the summit in Egypt where the deal was signed, Trump spoke of how moved he was by seeing Israeli hostages being reunited with their families.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a beautiful thing to see,\u201d he said. \u201cIn one sense, it’s so horrible that it could have taken place, but in another sense, it’s so beautiful to see a new and beautiful day is rising.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-211648","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
