"I watched your coverage, and I really appreciate it. You are a real professional not because it's good or bad, you're just really professional, Trump told Yingst during a brief TV interview from Israel. It would be great if other people could do what you do, because, you know, they put negative spin [in their news stories]. The president then said he has been pleasantly surprised that has not been the case with the recent coverage of the Israel-Hamas hostage deal he spearheaded."
"The president's interview with Fox News came a few hours after 20 living hostages were released by Hamas. It also comes a little more than two years after Hamas terrorists broke into Israel and slaughtered 1,200 people, before taking hundreds of hostages back to Gaza. Trump said, both on his way to Israel aboard Air Force One on Sunday and again on Monday, that he believed the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas would hold and that peace would sweep the Middle East."
President Donald Trump praised Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst for his two years of coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, calling him a real professional and contrasting him with outlets that put negative spin on stories. Trump said recent coverage of the hostage deal he helped spearhead has been surprisingly positive. He described the hostage-release and ceasefire as sort of a miracle and said he believed the ceasefire would hold because leaders from Israel and the Arab world wanted it. The interview occurred hours after 20 living hostages were released and more than two years after the October 2022 Hamas attacks.
