Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Tuesday that he and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their work to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The prime minister’s office said the leaders were nominated by David Trimble, the former First Minister of Northern Ireland who won in 1998 for his work on the Northern Ireland peace process, Bloomberg reported.
“Pursuant to the rules of the Nobel Prize Committee, since Lord Trimble is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, his decision to submit Prime Minister Netanyahu’s candidacy will lead the committee to discuss the issue,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement Tuesday.
Previous winners included Abiy Ahmed, Juan Manual Santos Calderon, Barack Obama, Marti Ahtisaari, so Netanyahu should fit right in! What does NSG think?
I think that they should, at the very least, rename the Nobel Peace Prize to the Nobel War Price, for maximum trolling. I'm not against Netanyahu, as he's been quite effective at asserting Israel's dominance in the Middle East, moreso than I expected, but to claim that he did so peacefully... is bullshit.
