Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated US President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize during a White House dinner, citing their military operations against Iran's nuclear facilities as a success. Netanyahu presented a letter to the Nobel committee, emphasizing Trump's efforts in forging peace. Their discussion included the war in Gaza and a proposed ceasefire. The nomination represents Netanyahu's long-term push for US military action against Iran's nuclear program, while Trump has gained a reputation for brokering peace agreements in various regions. Netanyahu's visit comes amid Israel's ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Netanyahu presented Trump with a nominating letter he said he sent to the Nobel committee, "He's forging peace as we speak, one country and one region after the other."
The call for the peace prize follows years of pressure from the Israeli leader on Trump and his predecessors to take military action against Iran's nuclear programme.
Trump responded by ordering US forces to deploy "bunker-buster" bombs and launch a barrage of Tomahawk missiles on three key Iranian nuclear sites.
Trump has proudly highlighted recent truces his administration brokered between India and Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, as well as Israel and Iran.
