Georgia GOP Rep. Buddy Carter announced Thursday that he would be introducing legislation to nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“No one deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than Donald J. Trump, the Peace President,” Carter told Fox News Digital. “In nine short months, he’s negotiated seven peace deals, not including the recent announcement of a historic agreement between Israel and Hamas to release the hostages and end hostilities.”
Trump announced Wednesday evening on TRUTH Social that Hamas and Israel both signed off on the first phase of a peace plan.
“This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,” Trump wrote on TRUTH. “All Parties will be treated fairly! 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 happen.”
Carter said that Trump has saved “countless lives” with this deal.
Hamas and Israel have been at war since Oct. 7, 2023 after Hamas launched a surprise attack on the country and murdered 1,200 people.
Palestinian health officials said that 67,000 people have been killed since the war in Gaza began, according to Reuters.
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will likely be announced Oct. 10.
Former Democratic President Barack Obama was the last U.S. president to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
