Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, presenting the US president with a letter he sent to the prize committee.
The move comes as Israel continues its onslaught on Gaza, which has so far killed 57,523 Palestinians. Last year, the UN-backed International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, citing allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court said he, along with ex-defence minister Yoav Gallant, 鈥渋ntentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival鈥, including food, water, medicine, fuel, and electricity.
鈥淗e鈥檚 forging peace as we speak, in one country, in one region after the other,鈥 Netanyahu said at a dinner with Trump at the White House.
