Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially nominated US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, triggering widespread outrage online. Critics say the nomination mocks the very idea of peace, especially as both leaders remain entangled in global conflicts.
A Shocking Announcement
Netanyahu made the announcement during a White House dinner on Monday, presenting Trump with a letter addressed to the Nobel Committee. He claimed Trump was “forging peace” across regions. This statement came even as Israel’s assault on Gaza continues and tensions with Iran escalate.
Since October 2023, more than 57,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza, according to health authorities. In 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes, including depriving civilians of food and medicine.
Trump’s Controversial Track Record
Trump, meanwhile, continues to take credit for peace deals like the Abraham Accords and short-term ceasefires. Yet, his current term includes ongoing violence in Ukraine, renewed Middle East tensions, and domestic crackdowns on immigrants and pro-Palestinian protests.
Despite his controversial record, Netanyahu has now officially put Trump forward for the peace prize, drawing sharp criticism and disbelief online.
