Netanyahu names Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize at the White House meeting

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee to appoint President Donald Trump for the Peace Prize.

Trump and Netanyahu met the White House on Monday to discuss developments in the Middle East.

While speaking to journalists, Netanyahu spoke of the relationship between Israel and the United States

“I want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all the Israelis, but of the Jewish people and many admirers in the world, for your leadership, your leadership of the free world, your leadership of a just cause and the pursuit of peace and security,” he said. “The president has an extraordinary team, and I think that our teams, together, make an extraordinary combination to meet the challenges and seize opportunities.

“But the president has already carried out great opportunities. He has forged the Abraham agreements. He forges peace while we are talking, in one country and a region after the other,” continued Netanyahu. “So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. This notes you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved.”

Trump accepted the letter, saying that he was not aware of the appointment and thanking the Prime Minister.

The appointment comes only a few weeks after the United States struck Iran’s nuclear program after the previous strikes taken by Israel in order to end the atomic ambitions of Tehran.

The best Iranian clerics call for the execution of Trump

Trump said on Monday that Iran was no longer the ban “”Next week. “”

But when it was asked how negotiations with Hamas took place to end the war in Gaza and return the hostages held there for more than 630 days, the United States or Israeli officials would comment on what was “maintenance”.

When asked if there can be a two -state solution between Israel and the Palestinians – a policy that the United States has long supported – Trump has pushed the issue to Netanyahu who said “overall security” will always remain in the hands of Israel.

“I think the Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers should threaten us,” Netanyahu told journalists. “And that means that certain powers, such as overall security, will always remain in our hands.

“No one in Israel will accept something else because we do not commit suicide,” he added.

The Israeli chief then said that he thought that Jerusalem can establish “peace between us and the entire Middle East with the management of President Trump” in a direct wink to the president’s push to extend the Abraham agreements.

Nations and Saudi Arabia have declared that they were not interested in normalizing links with Israel until peace is established for the Palestinians, but the positions of other nations on the establishment of diplomatic links remain unclear.

The American envoy for Lebanon and Syria suggested earlier on Monday that the two nations could seek to improve diplomatic relations.

Trump said he had removed the sanctions against Syria this year to give them “a chance” and suggested that he would also like to raise “biting sanctions” on Iran.

“I would like to see Iran reproduce peacefully, and not say” death in America, death in the United States, death in Israel “, as they did,” he said. “They have such potential.”
