In a statement to the United Nations headquarters, Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, has made a bold and headline-making assertion that former U.S. President Donald Trump “certainly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize,” pointing towards Trump’s past contributions to the field of Middle East diplomacy, including the Abraham Accords.
Speaking at a high-level session on peacebuilding and conflict resolution at the UN, Erdan stated, “When history is written, President Trump’s legacy will not only be focused on shifting policies but on making real peace, in one of the world’s most unstable regions. The Abraham Accords were not coincidental actions; they were leadership in action. That in itself should merit a Nobel Peace Prize.”
This statement comes at a moment of renewed debate concerning international efforts for peace negotiations, as tensions remain unresolved in some regions of the Middle East, even while Israel continues normalization agreements with several Arab countries.
Moreover, Erdan’s comments reinvigorate debate and discussion regarding international recognition, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, relating to political leaders’ achievements that have short-term temporary benefits, versus leaders who have a plan and way forward to sustaining peace long-term.
The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020 amid Trump’s presidency, demonstrated a remarkable regime change in Middle East diplomacy. The UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco normalized relations with Israel, placing well-established taboos on ice in the Arab world. Trump, Kushner, and Berkowitz drove the deals.
Rules of the Nobel Committee state that nominations remain private for 50 years, but public endorsements like Erdan’s have moral heft.
Some analysts believe that Erdan’s comment is not simply admiration, but rather a strategic diplomatic maneuver. Based on the primaries for the 2024 presidential election, where Trump is leading all polls for Republican candidates, it seems that Israel is signaling to the world its preferred partner for future cooperation.
