Why It Matters: The nomination of Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize by Benjamin Netanyahu is not an isolated event. Earlier this year, Trump himself hinted at his potential candidacy for the prize due to his contributions to the Abraham Accords. This historic agreement, signed during his presidency, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, marking a significant diplomatic achievement.
In addition, Pakistan announced its intention to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in reducing tensions between India and Pakistan. His intervention during a critical standoff between these nuclear-armed neighbors was credited with averting a potential conflict, according to Islamabad.
