Netanyahu Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Amid Diplomatic Discussions
In a striking display of international camaraderie, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he is nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize during a dinner meeting at the White House.
Marking his third visit to the White House—the most by any foreign leader—Netanyahu utilized this occasion not just for culinary delights, but to engage in serious discussions about the ongoing situation in Gaza.
During their dinner, the Prime Minister handed Trump a letter addressed to the Nobel Prize Committee, officially nominating him for the prestigious award. “He’s forging peace as we speak, in one country and one region after the other,” Netanyahu asserted.
WATCH:
Netanyahu: He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak, in one country and one region after the other. So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It’s nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it.
Trump: Thank you very much. This, I didn’t know. Wow. Thank you very much. Coming from you, in particular, this is very meaningful.
This nomination follows a recent endorsement from Pakistan, which cited Trump’s “diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis” as grounds for his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Shortly after Pakistan’s endorsement, Trump proclaimed that he had successfully brokered peace in the long-standing conflict between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, adding yet another feather to his diplomatic cap. Yet, as Trump lamented, the recognition for such accomplishments often eludes him.
“I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for this, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between India and Pakistan, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the War between Serbia and Kosovo, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Peace between Egypt and Ethiopia (A massive Ethiopian-built dam, stupidly financed by the United States of America, substantially reduces the water flowing into The Nile River), and I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East which, if all goes well, will be loaded to the brim with additional Countries signing on, and will unify the Middle East for the first time in ‘The Ages!'” the President stated last month.
“No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do, including Russia/Ukraine, and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!”
