• The president has turned the prize into a public campaign, calling a denial an "insult" to the United States and telling the UN that "everyone" says he should win.

• Pakistan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed his nomination, law professor Anat Alon-Beck formally submitted his name, and supporters including Israel’s leading hostage-families group and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla urged recognition.
