Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Donald Trump he nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize during a visit to the White House.
Netanyahu is not the first foreign leader to nominate Trump, as Pakistan had also expressed intent to nominate him, seeking to strengthen ties with the US president.
The nomination occurred amidst discussions on ongoing conflicts, with the US participating in Israel's military campaign against Iran and efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
International pressure is mounting on Israel to end the war in Gaza, with Palestinian casualties rising and concerns about famine in the region.
