“YOU SHOULD GET IT”: Netanyahu Nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize and Gives Him a Copy of Nominating Letter

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu announced on Monday that he had officially put President Trump’s name forward for the Nobel Peace Prize, personally handing over a copy of the nomination letter during their meeting in Washington.

“I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee,” Netanyahu said during a moment at the White House.

“It’s the nomination of you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved. And you should get it.”

Reaching across the table that separated the American and Israeli delegations, Netanyahu passed the letter directly to Trump.

“This I didn’t know,” Trump responded with surprise as he looked at the document. “Well, thank you very much.

“Coming from you, in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much.”

The two leaders met in Washington for high-level discussions, which would be followed by a private dinner later that evening.

Topics on the table included Gaza’s future and potential diplomatic breakthroughs with Arab countries, though no significant updates were offered publicly following the discussions.

“I think our teams together make an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities,” Netanyahu said during remarks made before their meal.

“But the president has already realized a great opportunity to forge the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak, and one country and one region after the other.”

Earlier in the day, Netanyahu held a long meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Blair House, the official residence for visiting dignitaries. No summary of the conversation was released.

Netanyahu also sat down with Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff. As with the other meetings, officials offered no insight into what was discussed.
