Overview

• Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an official nomination letter to President Trump during a July 7 dinner at the White House, marking a high-profile proposal under Nobel rules.
• Under Alfred Nobel’s will, national leaders, lawmakers, professors and past laureates may submit Peace Prize candidates, and all names remain secret for 50 years.
• Trump was first nominated in 2020 by Norwegian MP Christian Tybring-Gjedde for the Abraham Accords and saw another proposal from Pakistan’s government in June 2025.
• The Norwegian Nobel Committee will accept submissions until January, compile a shortlist thereafter and name the 2025 laureate in October.
• Betting odds currently estimate Trump’s chances above ten percent, reflecting a competitive field and opaque selection process.
