Donald Trump nabs Nobel Peace Prize nomination for 4th time; Here’s what you need to know

Tenney stated that Donald Trump was “instrumental” in cracking the deal signed in September 2020 between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.
Former US President Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after his name was put forward by Republican congresswoman Claudia Tenney, citing “historic” Abraham Accords treaty that was signed during his presidency.
Tenney stated that Trump played a crucial role in cracking the deal signed in September 2020 between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, which aimed toward normalising their ties as part of a larger goal to address ongoing tensions in the Middle East between Arab countries and Israel. Later, Morocco and Sudan signed similar agreements.
“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” Tenney said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organisations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false.”
This comes amid soaring tensions in the Middle East and after the death of three US soldiers in a drone strike.
The Nobel Peace Prize recognised the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1978, as well as the Oslo Accords in 1994. However, Tenney highlighted that no one ever acknowledged Trump’s involvement in facilitating a deal between Israel and four of its Arab neighbours.
“The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today. Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace,” Tenney stressed.
