WASHINGTON: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Donald Trump that he was nominating the US leader for a Nobel Peace Prize as the two took a victory lap on Monday to hail their recent joint strikes on Iran ‘s nuclear facilities as an unmitigated success.
The two leaders sat down with their top aides for a dinner in the White House Blue Room to mark the Iran operation and discuss efforts to push forward with a 60-day ceasefire proposal to pause the 21-month conflict in Gaza.
“He’s forging peace as we speak, and one country and one region after the other,” Netanyahu said as he presented Trump with a nominating letter he said he is sending the Nobel committee.
