Former President Donald Trump has once again been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the Abraham Accords.

Rep. Claudia Tenney nominated the former president Tuesday for his “groundbreaking efforts to foster peace and cooperation between Israel, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates through the Abraham Accords.”

Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” the New York Republican said in a statement. “For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ’professionals,’ and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false.”

She said his “valiant efforts [were] unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.”

Mr. Trump also was nominated for the prize for the Abraham Accords three times in 2020. He was nominated by a member of the Norwegian parliament, a member of the Swedish Parliament and four Australian professors.

Ms. Tenney pointed out that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt in 1978 and for the Oslo Accords in 1994, but Mr. Trump has not been recognized.

“Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace,” she said.

The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in October.
