Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, commending what he described as Trump’s “steadfast and exceptional dedication to promoting peace, security and stability around the world.”
Netanyahu personally delivered the letter of nomination to Trump during their meeting at the White House July 7.
The nomination, which Netanyahu officially made July 1, highlights Trump’s role in the Abraham Accords — a series of historic agreements that normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco.
Netanyahu praised the accords as “groundbreaking” and wrote that they “reshaped the Middle East and marked a historic advance toward peace, security and regional stability.”
“President Trump’s vision and bold leadership promoted innovative diplomacy defined not by conflict and extremism but by cooperation, dialogue and shared prosperity,” Netanyahu wrote in his letter to the Nobel Committee.
