Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Nominates President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize
On Monday, President Donald Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House along with cabinet members Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Trump and Netanyahu shared further observations and information on the Israeli and American air strikes against Iran, the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the strength of U.S./Israel relations. The president, the prime minister, and selected cabinet members responded to questions from the press.
But Netanyahu planned a surprise early in the meeting, as our sister site Townhall reported.
During a historic visit to the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts toward peace in the Middle East. The surprise gesture recognized Trump’s bold diplomacy in brokering unprecedented peace deals, accomplishments largely ignored by the liberal media and downplayed by global elites.
On Monday, Netanyahu stated that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee nominating Trump for the prestigious award, expressing his appreciation and admiration for the president's work.
Netanyahu said:
But the president has already realized great opportunities. 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.

The letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, written on official letterhead, read in part:
In the Middle East, his efforts have brought about dramatic change and created new opportunities to expand the circle of peace and normalization.
Foremost among these achievements was President Trump's pivotal role in facilitating the Abraham Accords. These groundbreaking agreements established formal diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab nations--including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco. These breakthroughs reshaped the Middle East and marked a historic advance toward peace, security and regional stability.
[...]
Few leaders have achieved such tangible breakthroughs to peace in such a short time. In these times of great historic change. I can think of no one more deserving than President Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump should have rightly been nominated and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for the Abraham Accords, so it is fitting that Netanyahu has reminded the committee of this incredible achievement. Should the ceasefire continue and a stable peace be forged with Iran, the Nobel Committee would be hard pressed to refuse to acknowledge Trump's work in forging peace.
Netanyahu's nomination, along with Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) petitioning Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to have Trump's visage engraved on Mt. Rushmore, reflect the zeitgeist of this time in history. No doubt, one or even both of these could occur in our lifetime.
