When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House Monday for dinner, he came bearing what has become the ultimate host gift for President Donald Trump: a letter nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Before the meal was served, however, Netanyahu was quick to burnish Trump’s peace-making abilities, even as negotiators were still finalizing details of a ceasefire deal.
“He’s forging peace, as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other,” Netanyahu said as he reached over the table to present Trump with his document. “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, and you should get it.”
