Netanyahu Nominates Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize

TIME

Donald Trump has ticked many boxes in his life and career: husband (three times), father (of five), (multi-)billionaire, President (twice). But he’s made clear that there’s one title he really wants but is yet to achieve: Nobel Peace Prize winner.  “They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize,” he told reporters at the White House in February as he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “It’s too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.”  In a gesture of support, Netanyahu, during his latest visit to the White House on Monday, presented Trump with a copy of a letter he said he sent to the Nobel Prize committee. “It’s nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well-deserved. And you should get it,” Netanyahu said.

00:00I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee.

00:06It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well-deserved, and you should get it.

00:12Thank you very much. This I didn't know. Well, thank you very much.

00:18Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much, Bibi.

00:23Thank you. Thank you for everything you do.

00:24Thank you. It's a great honor.

00:26I think President Trump had a brilliant vision. It's called free choice.

00:32You know, if people want to stay, they can stay.

00:35But if they want to leave, they should be able to leave.

00:38It shouldn't be a prison. It should be an open place and give people a free choice.

00:43We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always say,

00:52that they want to give the Palestinians a better future.

00:55And those who, and I think we're getting close to finding several countries.

01:03And I think this will give, again, the freedom to choose.

01:07Palestinians should have it.

01:08And I hope that we can secure it close by.

01:11And I think we can work out a piece between us and the entire Middle East with President Trump's leadership.

01:20And by working together, I think we can establish a very, very broad piece that will include all our neighbors.

01:27I think Iran wants to meet, I think they want to make peace, and I'm all for it.

01:32Right.

01:33Here we go.

01:33Today we can't.

01:35For today we can't.

01:38Before we go.

01:38You'll find out.

01:38Okay.

01:40I think it needs such a word for everybody.

01:40Let them know.

01:41And then, and this could be something that we'll go.

01:42You know.

01:43To documentary it.

01:43Then, let them know.

01:43Let them know.

01:44But the people, no matter my opinion, are before you do this,

01:47I think there's even women look good enough.

01:48For.

01:48I think there's not really creepy.

01:49For those people, it's not.

01:51Because there reallyincarnate in the triangular way of the ancestry.

01:52It's not even.

01:53I think there's even it's very much you that has nothing.

01:54型.

01:55So I think there's more than a third movie story.

01:56Yeah.
