Israel and Pakistan Nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize: Can He Win?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally announced his nomination of US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize during their meeting at the White House on July 7. This follows Pakistan's earlier nomination of Trump last month. Trump, who has been nominated multiple times before, now finds himself with two formal endorsements, though the actual impact on his chances remains uncertain due to the secretive process of the Nobel Committee.

Netanyahu handed Trump a letter confirming his recommendation to the Nobel committee, praising Trump's efforts in forging peace. Pakistan also credited Trump for diplomatic intervention during tensions between India and Pakistan. The nomination process for the Nobel Peace Prize involves specific individuals and groups, and nominations do not guarantee endorsement by the Committee. The winner is chosen through a confidential process by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The dual backing of Trump by Israel and Pakistan is politically significant, given their differing regional agendas. While Trump has touted his role in diplomatic efforts, critics argue that much of the actual diplomacy occurred independently of the US in the regions involved.
