Overview

• Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistan’s government and Cambodia’s prime minister have publicly said they nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
• The Nobel Committee accepts nominations only through January 31 and keeps submissions secret, leaving it uncertain whether any valid, timely nominations for Trump were filed.
• U.S.-led mediation in Gaza and Ukraine remains in progress, with Washington pressing for ceasefires and backing proposals that include removing Hamas from power in Gaza and territorial concessions by Kyiv.
• Analysts argue the committee prioritizes durable, multilateral peace over transactional or provisional arrangements, limiting Trump’s chances in 2025.
• Supporters continue lobbying, including Israel’s hostages’ families urging recognition of his efforts, and allies indicate they could re-nominate him in 2026 if concrete agreements take hold.
