In a bold move on the international stage, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially nominated former U.S. President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Israeli prime minister presented the US President with the letter of nomination during a White House dinner on Wednesday, July 7. He said to Trump, "You should get it," to which the latter said that he found the gesture "very meaningful".
The nomination comes as Netanyahu maintains a close relationship with President Trump and follows the latter's repeated complaints about being overlooked by the Nobel committee.
The nomination arrives at a time of heightened scrutiny towards Israel and the United States. Netanyahu for his genocide in Gaza, and Trump for his controversial foreign policies, including his refusal to implement more sanctions on Russia for its war in Ukraine.
However, Netanyahu is not the only one who has nominated the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize. In June, Pakistan formally nominated him for his "decisive diplomatic intervention" in de-escalating border tensions between Pakistan and India.
In the US, Representative Buddy Carter, R-Ga., said that he nominated President Trump for brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Other Republican lawmakers, Reps. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and Darrell Issa, R-Calif., submitted their nominations of Trump in early 2024 and 2025.
Ukrainian parliamentarian Oleksandr Merezhko had also nominated Trump in November 2024, but rescinded it in June, accusing Trump of failing to keep his promises in regards to the Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.
