Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. President Donald Trump he nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, using a visit to the White House to further cement the pair’s relationship as the U.S. presses for a ceasefire in Gaza.
"He’s forging peace as we speak,” Netanyahu told reporters at the start of a dinner with Trump and other top officials on Monday. "In one country and one region after the other.

"Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful,” Trump said.
