The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has nominated Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, he personally handed Trump the nomination letter when the two met at the White House this week. Trump said in response to the announcement that the nomination was a great honour especially coming from the Israeli PM. Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire on June 24 after 12 days of hostilities that saw Israel and the United States attack Iran and face Iranian retaliation. The US had entered the war on June 22, carrying out attacks on the nuclear sites of Fordo, Natanz and Esfahan in Iran. Apart from claiming a role in putting a stop to conflicts in Iran and Gaza, Trump has also repeatedly claimed that he helped settle tensions between India and Pakistan following a four-day conflict in May. It's an irony that the the biggest war monger on the planet is nominating for the Nobel, the head of a country which holds the record for bombing the largest number of nations in the world in recorded history. As things stand, we won't be surprised if Trump actually is awarded the Peace prize, come October.
