Netanyahu Nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize During White House Dinner

US President Donald Trump hosted Benjamin Netanyahu for dinner at the White House to discuss ending the Gaza war. This was Netanyahu's third visit since Trump's return to power. Trump expressed optimism about the peace process and believed that Hamas was willing to agree to a ceasefire. The meeting took place as Israel and Hamas engaged in talks in Qatar. Netanyahu nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his efforts in forging peace in various regions.

Netanyahu, however, was cautious about peace with the Palestinians and stated that Israel would maintain security control over the Gaza Strip. Trump, while supporting Netanyahu during the recent conflict with Iran, emphasized the need to end the situation in Gaza. Negotiations for a ceasefire continued, with the US proposing a truce and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Despite talks in Doha, there was no significant progress reported.

The US envoy was set to join further discussions to secure a ceasefire. The Israeli army reported casualties, and the conflict has led to humanitarian crises in Gaza. The situation remains tense, with efforts ongoing to reach a peaceful resolution.
