Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu handed President Donald Trump a letter nominating him for the Nobel Peace prize at a dinner Monday, a gesture that ostensibly took the president by surprise.
'It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it,' the Israeli leader told Trump, just days after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire after 12 days of fighting and a U.S. bombing of the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities.
'This I didn't know,' Trump responded after thanking Netanyahu. 'Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful,' Trump told Netanyahu, who said he had sent the nominating letter to the Nobel Prize Committee.
Trump has long been known to covet the prize, and his allies have continued to push the issue, even as both boasted about the military attacks that 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities.
It happened at a meeting in which Trump said Iran wants to return to the negotiating table, perhaps as early as next week.
