Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, personally handing him the nomination letter during a meeting at the White House.
“I want to express the appreciation and admiration, not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people and many, many admirers around the world for your leadership, your leadership of the free world, your leadership of a just cause, and the pursuit of peace and security, which you are leading in many lands, but now, especially in the Middle East,” said Netanyahu. “The president has an extraordinary team, and I think our teams, together, make an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities.”
“But the president has already realized great opportunities. He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak in one country, in one region after the other,” he continued. “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 told Bibi, “Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful.”

The two leaders met at the White House to discuss Middle East developments, just weeks after teaming up to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.
Last month, Pakistan nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his decisive diplomacy and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis.
