Overview
- The U.S. House speaker and Israel’s Knesset speaker signed an official letter in Washington launching a coordinated effort to nominate President Trump.
- The letter is being shared with Speakers and Presidents of parliaments worldwide to enlist co-signers ahead of the formal submission.
- Backers say the case rests on Trump’s role in returning living hostages, a reported Gaza “20-point plan,” and diplomatic steps such as the Abraham Accords and eased regional frictions.
- The rollout included meetings on Capitol Hill with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, senators including John Thune, and bipartisan participants from the Congressional Friends of the Knesset.
- The Nobel Committee operates independently, and organizers acknowledge that a nomination does not guarantee selection.
