Netanyahu Endorses Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed former U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, crediting him for brokering the recently signed Gaza ceasefire deal. Netanyahu even shared an AI-generated image of Trump receiving the award, saying, “He deserves it.”
Gaza Ceasefire Agreement
The ceasefire, reached under Trump’s mediation, outlines a first-phase truce involving the release of Palestinian prisoners, the return of Israeli hostages, partial withdrawal of Israeli troops, and greater humanitarian access to Gaza. The agreement is seen as the most significant breakthrough in the conflict in years.
Debate Over Nobel Eligibility
While Netanyahu has been vocal in his support, analysts note that the Nobel Committee often rewards sustained and long-term peace efforts rather than single political deals. Critics argue that the ceasefire’s durability will determine whether Trump’s involvement merits recognition.
Political Gesture and Global Implications
Netanyahu’s public backing for Trump reflects Israel’s diplomatic alignment with Washington and aims to elevate the global profile of the ceasefire deal. The move also underscores how peace efforts in the Middle East are being tied to international political narratives.
