An Israeli advocacy group, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, has called for United States President Donald Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to secure the release of hostages in Gaza and bring peace to the region. In a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, the group praised Trump's determination and cited his comprehensive plan to end the conflict and free hostages as evidence of his commitment.

The group claims that no other leader or organization has contributed more to global peace over the past year than Trump. Their appeal comes as new negotiations between Israel and Hamas are set to begin in Egypt, following a plan announced by Trump last week. Despite Trump's public desire for the Nobel Peace Prize, experts remain skeptical about his chances, noting that some of his claims regarding resolving conflicts are seen as exaggerated.
