Overview

  • The Forum des familles, the main group representing relatives of Israeli hostages, sent a letter asking the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award Donald Trump the Peace Prize, citing his efforts to free captives in Gaza.
  • Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas began in Egypt on Monday, which TF1 reports are based on a U.S. proposal attributed to Trump aimed at securing hostage releases and halting the war.
  • Trump has repeatedly asserted he deserves the 2025 prize, calling it a "great insult" to the United States if he is not selected and claiming credit for resolving several conflicts.
  • Historians and experts quoted by AFP and Norwegian media argue his unilateral style conflicts with the Nobel’s tradition of rewarding multilateral cooperation.
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee is set to announce the 2025 laureate on Friday, October 10 at 11:00 local time, with 338 candidates on the confidential list.
