Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday night that he's nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The honor was "well-deserved," Netanyahu told Trump. Trump has long called himself a master peacemaker and made clear his desire for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a gesture of support, Netanyahu, during his latest visit to the White House on Monday, presented Trump with a copy of a letter he said he sent to the Nobel Prize committee. “It’s nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well-deserved. And you should get it,” Netanyahu said.
