Israeli government officials and activists have formally nominated former President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. This nomination credits his diplomatic efforts with achieving an Israel-Hamas agreement, which supporters believe could contribute to Middle East stability.
The Israeli Foreign Minister stated that former President Trump’s leadership was instrumental in reaching the Israel-Hamas agreement in late 2025. The deal reportedly followed Trump’s engagement in diplomacy with Israeli and regional actors. Israeli officials attribute Trump’s approach to breaking diplomatic deadlocks that had been ongoing for months after the October 2023 Hamas attack.
The Israeli Prime Minister, Foreign Ministry, and Knesset members have initiated a public campaign to support Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Officials submitted formal statements and letters to the Nobel Committee in October 2025, emphasizing Trump’s role in the agreement’s success.
This nomination follows Trump’s previous recognition for the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations during his presidency. Former Presidents Carter and Obama have also received Nobel Peace Prizes for diplomatic efforts.
The Nobel Committee confirmed receipt of Trump’s nomination, stating it maintains its independence regarding selection criteria. Political scientists have noted the unusual nature of post-presidency diplomatic engagement. The committee typically considers sustained peace efforts, though Trump’s supporters argue his approach achieved results where traditional diplomacy had not.
Pro-Trump rallies and media campaigns in both Israel and the United States continue to highlight his role in the agreement. A spokesperson for Trump stated he remains “honored by the recognition and committed to peace.”
