After Gaza Deal, Trump’s Nobel Bid Runs Into Closed Deliberations

With deliberations concluded earlier this week, committee norms favor sustained, quiet peace work, leaving a last‑minute push unlikely to change the outcome.

Overview

  • Trump announced a first‑phase Israel–Hamas agreement with hostage releases and an initial Israeli pullback, later confirmed by Israel, Hamas and Qatar.
  • The White House boosted the effort with a 'Peace President' post as allies, including Benjamin Netanyahu, publicly urged a Nobel and shared an AI image celebrating Trump.
  • The Nobel Institute said the committee held its final meeting on Monday, preceding Trump’s announcement, with the 2025 laureate set to be revealed on Friday.
  • Several publicized nominations for Trump were submitted after the deadline and do not count for 2025, while at least one timely nomination was filed by Rep. Claudia Tenney.
  • Experts say the committee typically rewards durable, low‑profile peacebuilding, and they view Trump’s disputed claims of having ended multiple wars as weakening his chances this year.
