Netanyahu Nominates Trump for 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, citing Trump's role in the Abraham Accords and peace agreements in Africa while omitting reference to recent military actions such as the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. The nomination, delivered during a White House meeting, follows similar gestures from other world leaders and lawmakers. Supporters highlight Trump's efforts to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan and to foster normalization between Israel and Arab states. Critics argue that awarding Trump the prize is controversial due to his administration's support for Israel's campaign in Gaza and recent military escalations. The Nobel Committee's history of both overlooking and awarding contentious figures adds further complexity to Trump's candidacy. Netanyahu's nomination is also viewed as a strategic move to bolster his own standing amid diplomatic isolation and domestic scrutiny in Israel.
