Donald Trump loves to be in the spotlight, and he does not shy away from admitting it! In a symbolic gesture of international recognition, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented President Trump with a letter nominating him for the Nobel Piran eace Prize during a White House dinner. Their meeting marked Netanyahu’s first visit to Washington, D.C, since the joint U.S.-Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities last month.
During their meeting in the Blue Room, Netanyahu handed Trump a printed copy of the nomination letter addressed to the Nobel Peace Prize committee.” This letter nominates you for the Peace Prize, which you truly deserve. You should receive it,” Netanyahu told Trump as he passed the letter across the table.
As per The Irish Star, Donald Trump responded with appreciation, saying, “Thank you very much. Coming from you, in particular, this is very meaningful.”
As we know, America and Israel are strong allies who helped Israel retaliate back at Iran under Operation Midnight Hammer, where at approximately 12:30 a.m. Iranian time, U.S. Navy submarines launched over two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Isfahan nuclear site, coinciding precisely with the B-2 bombers on June 21, 2025. After Fordow, they attacked Natanz and Esfahan.
Iran responded to the attack from the U.S. on June 21 as it bombed its military base in Al-Udeid, Qatar. The attack was first confirmed by Iranian state media and later by the military. During the prestigious dinner between the leaders in the White House, Benjamin Netanyahu stated he would also be discussing a potential ceasefire in Gaza and efforts to expand diplomatic relations with additional nations.

Last week, Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. He warned Hamas to accept the terms so that peace could prevail for all. Over the weekend, Hamas responded positively to the proposed idea. Still, it noted that further internal discussions were necessary before providing full approval.
The entire war began in Gaza in October 2023 when Hamas militants attacked Israeli border communities, killing approximately 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages. The two disturbed regions have been fighting for a long time. Since then, Gaza health officials have reported that over 56,000 Palestinians, who include primarily women and children, have died due to Israeli airstrikes.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s ceasefire agreement reportedly includes the release of eight living hostages at the start of the truce, followed by two more on the 50th day. In exchange, Israel would release Palestinian prisoners. Trump, who claims himself as the person who’s responsible for establishing world peace, has been saying he deserves the award for all the work he has done.

He was asked about the same at his Oval Office meeting in February, and even when he said, “I deserve it,” he thinks he will never be given the Nobel Peace Prize since, as per him they only give it to liberals. Yet, his dreams seem to be coming true. In addition to Netanyahu’s nomination, U.S. Representative Buddy Carter also submitted a nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, praising Donald Trump for brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Pakistan has also backed Donald Trump’s nomination, citing his efforts to de-escalate rising military tensions between India and Pakistan after India attacked the rival country under Operation Sindoor as a response to the Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025, where 26 innocent civilians were killed.
“This nomination highlights Pakistan’s acknowledgment of President Trump’s pivotal role in defusing tensions and averting a potential nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in an official statement.
Till now, only four presidents have won the famous Nobel Prize, including Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson. Could Donald Trump be the fifth person to add to the list? We will know the answer in due course of time.
