The families of hostages have sent a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, recommending that United States President Donald Trump be awarded the prestigious prize. They cite his recent involvement in negotiations for the hostages' release and his history of decisive actions that have led to the return of 39 captives and mediation in global conflicts. The families express renewed hope in Trump's leadership, believing he is committed to ending their ordeal and restoring peace to the Middle East. They argue that honoring Trump would recognize the impact of determined leadership and tangible actions for peace.
