The Prime Minister of Israel nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Monday that he has nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. During a meeting at the White House, Netanyahu personally handed Trump the letter sent to the Norwegian committee responsible for the award, emphasizing that "it is well deserved."

Trump, visibly surprised, thanked him for the gesture and described the nomination as "very significant," especially coming from Netanyahu. This nomination adds to a previous one by U.S. Congressman Buddy Carter (Republican-Georgia), who recommended Trump for his role in negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which ended a 12-day armed conflict. Carter praised Trump for preventing Iran, which he described as the main state sponsor of terrorism, from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu visited Washington to hold high-level meetings with Trump and U.S. officials. Although it was expected that they would discuss the future of Gaza and the possibility of Israel normalizing relations with Arab countries, no concrete details were provided about the progress.

During their meeting, Netanyahu praised Trump's previous achievements in diplomacy, such as the Abraham Accords, which established relations between Israel and several Arab nations. He stated that the president "is forging peace in real time."

The Israeli prime minister also held meetings with Secretary of StateMarco Rubioand with the special envoy for the Middle East,Steve Witkoff, although no official information was released about what was discussed in those meetings.

One of the main topics has been the pursuit of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Trump has promoted a deal that includes the release of hostages, while Netanyahu insists that the continued existence of Hamas in Gaza will not be allowed, a key condition for any agreement.

Netanyahu also proposed that Gaza be governed indefinitely by local authorities with no ties to Hamas or the Palestinian Authority. In addition, he supported the idea that Palestinians could choose to leave Gaza, suggesting that work is underway with the Trump administration to find countries that will receive them, with the aim of offering them a better future.

Meanwhile, during Netanyahu's visit to Washington, Israel launched airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, who replied with missiles toward Israeli territory.

In addition, a security incident was reported in Gaza with casualties in the Israeli army, although Trump stated that he did not expect this to affect the ceasefire negotiations.

Witkoff described the attack as "terribly unfortunate," but reaffirmed to Netanyahu that there is a concrete opportunity to reach a peace agreement, and he expressed optimism about achieving it soon.

Regarding Iran, Trump highlighted the recent U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, stating that three key sites were "obliterated." He compared this attack to the atomic bombings of Japan in World War II, indicating that it marked "the beginning of the end" of the conflict between Israel and Iran.

According to Trump, that attack significantly reduced the Iranian nuclear threat, to the point that he considers it unnecessary to formalize a new nuclear agreement, although he doesn't rule it out.

Finally, Witkoff announced that meetings between the United States and Iran will take place in the coming weeks, with the aim of seeking possible diplomatic understandings after the attack.
