Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Donald Trump will receive a peace award from Israel in 2026, an unusual distinction for a non-Israeli citizen.

During a press conference held in Florida, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Donald Trump will receive the peace prize in 2026, the highest civilian distinction in Israel. Netanyahu emphasized appreciation for Trump's contributions in support of Israel and in the fight against Hamas. This decision breaks a decades-long tradition that awarded the prize exclusively to Israeli citizens. Trump, visibly emotional, stated that he is surprised and may attend the ceremony, which takes place on the eve of Israel's national holiday. Trump also considers himself a successful mediator in international conflicts and has already been awarded a peace prize by FIFA. However, experts emphasize that his involvement in these conflicts has been limited.
