One day before the announcement of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, and just a few hours before Israel ratifies the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, the Office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted this Thursday that the award go to Donald Trump.
“Give the Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trumphe deserves it!”, he published Netanyahu’s Office on his X account (formerly Twitter), along with an image generated by artificial intelligence in which the Israeli president appears placing a Nobel medal on Trump, surrounded by Israeli flags.
Trump, with his arms raised like a stage-winning cyclist, smiles in front of Israel’s coat of arms and a slogan that reads “peace through strength“.
The ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave, promoted by the United States, was reached early Thursday morning in the Egyptian town of Sharm el Sheikh, after indirect talks between Israel and Hamas.
The pact will enter into force 24 hours after the Israeli Government approves it and Israeli troops withdraw and control around 53% of the enclave (until now more than 80% of the territory was under military control or under forced evacuation orders).
Netanyahu had already nominated Trump to the Nobel Peace Prize last July, in recognition he said for his “exceptional dedication to the promotion of peace, security and stability throughout the world.”
In October, relatives of the hostages in Gaza also nominated Trump for the award, saying that “no leader or organization has contributed more to world peace than President Trump.”
This Thursday, the leader of the Israeli opposition, Yair Lapidwho invited the American president to visit the families of the captives in Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, also asked for the Nobel Prize for Trump in a video message on social networks.
“A grateful nation thanks President Trump for the return of the hostages and for the peace he has brought to the region. I urge the Nobel committee to award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize,” Lapid said on X.
The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 will be announced tomorrow by the Norwegian committee and delivered on December 10 in Oslo
