Netanyahu announces Trump's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize
In a significant turn of events, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated former U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The nomination, made during a White House meeting in 2025, highlights Trump's role in advancing peace efforts linked to the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab countries[1][2][3].
The Abraham Accords, brokered by Trump during his presidency, marked a significant diplomatic achievement, aiming to normalize relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Netanyahu's nomination specifically emphasizes Trump's contribution to these peace processes in the Middle East[1][2].
Trump has been previously nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on multiple occasions, but as of July 2025, he has not received the award[1][2][3]. The nomination is a testament to Trump's diplomatic efforts, but it does not guarantee that he will win the prize. The Nobel Peace Prize committee will review the nomination and decide whether to award the prize to Trump.
In addition to his efforts in the Middle East, Trump has also claimed credit for "keeping peace" between Egypt and Ethiopia. He has also expressed irritation over being overlooked by the Norwegian Nobel Committee for his mediating role in conflicts between India and Pakistan[1][2][3].
The nomination by Netanyahu is a significant recognition of Trump's diplomatic efforts, and it remains to be seen whether the Nobel Peace Prize committee will award the prize to Trump. As of now, Trump has not publicly commented on the latest Nobel Peace Prize nomination[1][2][3].
