Key Takeaways
- Global Leaders Praise Trump’s Peace Diplomacy: Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced he will nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the Gaza ceasefire, calling him “the man this world needed most.”
- Second Nomination in Less Than a Year: Sharif previously nominated Trump for stopping the India-Pakistan war, crediting him with saving “millions of lives” through relentless pursuit of peace across regions.
- Nobel Committee Faces Growing Pressure: Despite being passed over last week, Trump’s international support is mounting. Israeli officials and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna have already pledged to nominate him again for 2026 — reinforcing his reputation as the president who makes peace, not war.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Monday that he will again nominate President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize — this time for brokering the historic ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Speaking alongside Trump at a signing ceremony in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, Sharif praised the president as “the man this world needed most at this point in time.” He cited Trump’s leadership in ending conflicts from South Asia to the Middle East, saying, “Today is one of the greatest days in contemporary history because peace has been achieved after untiring efforts — efforts led by President Trump, who is genuinely a man of peace.”
It’s not the first time Sharif has tapped Trump for the honor. Earlier this year, Pakistan nominated him for his role in halting the India-Pakistan border war. “He has brought not only peace in South Asia, saved millions of people, their lives. And today, here in Sharm el-Sheikh, achieving peace in Gaza is saving millions of lives in the Middle East,” Sharif said.
Trump, introducing world leaders at the ceremony, couldn’t resist ribbing the Nobel Committee after last week’s snub. “Oh, Norway, aye yay yay,” Trump quipped. “What happened, Norway? What happened?”
While the committee passed him over in favor of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, Israeli officials and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) have already pledged to nominate Trump again in 2026 — a testament to his expanding global reputation as a dealmaker who delivers peace through strength.
