Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday presented President Trump with a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize after Trump pushed for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Netanyahu visited the White House on Monday, marking the first face-to-face meeting with Trump since the president ordered U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, a decision made in coordination with Israel’s bombing of key Iranian nuclear sites.

The prime minister pulled out the letter during a dinner with Trump and presented it to the president.

“The president has already realized a great opportunity. He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak in one country and one region after the other,” Netanyahu said. “So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee. It’s nominating you for the peace prize, which is well deserved.”

“This I didn’t know,” Trump said as he took the letter. “Wow. Thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful.”

Trump’s allies have made the case that he is once again deserving of a look from the Nobel committee in the wake of some of his recent efforts to broker ceasefires around the world.

Pakistan said last week it would recommend Trump for the peace prize for his role in mediating its conflict with India.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) wrote to the Nobel committee on Tuesday to make Trump’s case after he helped achieve a fragile and nascent ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Monday’s meeting was focused in part on ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, something that has proven elusive since fighting broke out in October 2023.

The Nobel Peace Prize has rarely been far from Trump’s mind as he shapes his own foreign policy.

He made the case that he was deserving during his first term after summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to discuss denuclearization, though the summits failed to yield concrete results.
