FIRST ON FOX: A Republican House member is appealing to President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he announced a historic deal to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital he would introduce a resolution to nominate Trump for the honor.
The president announced the first phase of a peace deal between the two sides on his Truth Social app on Wednesday evening, writing: “This means that ALL hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw its troops along an agreed line as the first step towards a strong, lasting and everlasting peace.”

The news was welcomed by Democrats and Republican officials.
“No one is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Donald J. Trump, the peace president. In just nine months, he has negotiated seven peace agreements, not including the recent announcement of a historic agreement between Israel and Hamas to release hostages and end hostilities,” Carter told Fox News Digital.

“He has already saved countless lives, and the world will forever be indebted to him for his courageous pursuit of world peace.”
The Nobel Prizes, awarded each year, are announced this week. The Nobel Peace Prize winner is expected to be announced Friday.
Fox News Digital has learned that Carter, running for U.S. Senate in Georgia, intends to set up a mechanism to force a vote on his resolution if Trump does not win on Friday.

The mechanism, known as a discharge petition, would require House leaders to vote on a measure if the petition behind it garners a majority of signatures in the House — which would happen if all Republicans signed.

Carter is one of several House Republicans to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize since taking office in January.
The last American commander in chief to win the Nobel Peace Prize was President Barack Obama in 2009.
