Netanyahu writes in request for a Nobel Peace Prize for Donald Trump; Reveals in his White House Meeting
Donald Trump has expressed a few times in the past about how he will never get a Nobel Prize although nominated before, especially during the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit in February, when he said, “It’s too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.”
While as an act of support are cordiality, The Israel PM has revealed in his recent visit to the White House that he has indeed written to the Nobel Prize Committee to push for a recommendation for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“The President has already realised great opportunities. He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak in one country, in one region after the other. So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It’s nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well-deserved. And you should get it”, Netanyahu said.
Trump responded visibly surprised “Wow, Coming from you, in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much Bibi”, as he took the piece of paper given to him by the Israeli PM.
As infamously known, the Nobel Peace Prize is given to esteemed achievers and profound thinkers of the world since 1901 and as the committee has derived those who are awarded are, “the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Netanyahu who has called Trump a ‘peacemaker’ multiple times has also said, “I want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people and many, many admirers around the world, for your leadership, your leadership of the free world, your leadership of a just cause, and the pursuit of peace and security which you are leading in many lands, but now especially in the Middle East. The President has an extraordinary team, and I think our teams together make an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities”.
Till now, Three US Presidents have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize – Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, Woodrow Wilson in 1919, and Barack Obama in 2009.
