Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Nate Morris suggested the Nobel Peace Prize be renamed after President Donald Trump when the president announced that Israel and Hamas had “approved the first phase” of a peace plan.
“Not only does President Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for getting this deal over the finish line, they should rename the damn thing,” Morris said in a post on answer to Trump’s post on Truth Social.
Morris’ statement came after Trump revealed in a social media post that “Israel and Hamas have signed the first phase of” a peace plan. Trump also noted that this meant that “ALL hostages will be released very soon and Israel will withdraw its troops to an agreed-upon line as the first step toward a strong, lasting, eternal peace.”
“All parties will be treated fairly!” Trump added in his post. “This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel, all surrounding nations and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event a reality.”
In a post on X, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced that it was a “great day for Israel” and thanked Trump and his administration “from the bottom” of his heart “for their mobilization for this sacred mission of liberating” the remaining hosts.
“Tomorrow I will convene the government to approve the agreement and bring all our dear hosts home,” Netanyahu said. “I thank the heroic IDF soldiers and all security forces, thanks to whose courage and sacrifice we have reached this day. I thank President Trump and his team from the bottom of my heart for their mobilization for this sacred mission of freeing our hostages.”
The Times of Israel reported that the ceasefire agreement could be signed in Egypt as early as Thursday.
