Tommy Pigott to Newsmax: Hostage Release ‘Tremendous Achievement’

State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott on Newsmax on Wednesday hailed the release of hostages under a new Middle East peace agreement, calling it a “tremendous achievement” made possible by President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Speaking in an interview with “National Report,” Pigott said the return of all living hostages marked a historic turning point for a region long torn by conflict.

“The fact that we’re seeing this conflict, as the president said, that raged for decades, if not hundreds of years, now move toward peace is truly extraordinary,” Pigott said. “People said it couldn’t be done, but the president has delivered what no one thought possible.”
