Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said in an interview with Newsmax on Wednesday that he believes President Donald Trump is uniquely positioned to bring about an agreement to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Netanyahu’s remarks came just before Trump’s upcoming meeting in Alaska on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The gathering, which Putin requested, is being described as a “listening session” intended to explore possible steps toward peace in Ukraine. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not attend in person, reports indicate he will hold a virtual discussion with Trump and Vice President JD Vance prior to the summit.
“Look, if anyone can do it, it’s President Trump,” Netanyahu said during a special broadcast of “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE” from Jerusalem. “I nominated him for the Nobel [Peace] Prize because with his leadership and our partnership, we did the Abraham Accords which brought after a quarter of a century of no peace treaties, we brought four peace treaties between Israel and Arab states in six weeks.
“He showed what his leadership can do. He’s just done it with Azerbaijan and Armenia. So, if anyone could do it, I think President Trump can do it.”
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 under U.S. mediation during Trump’s presidency, established normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, among them the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. More recently, on August 8 at the White House, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a peace agreement brokered by the United States, concluding nearly 40 years of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
