Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, has commended U.S. President Donald Trump for his role in brokering a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the Gaza conflict, saying Trump merits the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
“There is no doubt that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for this,” Herzog wrote on X on Thursday, describing the deal as a chance “to mend, to heal, and to open a new horizon of hope for our region.”
Trump had earlier announced that indirect talks in Egypt had led to a breakthrough. Under the first phase of the U.S.-backed peace plan, all hostages held in Gaza are to be freed, while Israeli troops will pull back to an agreed boundary. Hamas has confirmed its acceptance of the deal.
Speaking recently at the UN General Assembly, Trump boasted that he had already ended several w@rs since taking office earlier this year and should be recognised with the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Committee is expected to reveal this year’s laureate on Friday.
