In a striking gesture during a recent meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he has formally nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Addressing Trump directly, Netanyahu praised his efforts on the international stage, saying:

"President Trump is 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."

The statement highlighted Netanyahu’s view of Trump’s role in advancing peace agreements and reshaping relationships across regions. The nomination reflects the Israeli leader’s continued appreciation for what he sees as significant diplomatic achievements under Trump’s leadership.

While the Nobel Peace Prize is decided independently by the Norwegian committee, Netanyahu’s words and nomination underscore the weight he places on Trump’s contributions to global diplomacy.
