During a dinner on Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu gave Donald Trump a letter that he said he had sent to a committee for the Nobel Peace Prize, commending the commander-in-chief's efforts to end conflicts in the Middle East.

The Israeli prime minister said, "I want to express the appreciation and admiration not only of all Israelis, but of the Jewish people, and many, many admirers around the world for your leadership, your leadership of a free world, your leadership of a just cause, and the pursuit of peace and security which you are leading in many lands now, especially in the Middle East."

"We have great opportunities. The president has an extraordinary team. And I think our teams together make an extraordinary combination to meet challenges and seize opportunities. But the president has already realized great opportunities," he added.

Netanyahu then mentioned, "He forged the Abraham Accords. He’s forging peace as we speak in one country and one region after the other. So, I want to present to you, Mr President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee."

The POTUS was seemingly shocked and said, "Oh," as Netanyahu added, "It’s nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well-deserved. And you should get it."

Trump thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much. This, I didn’t know. Wow. Thank you very much."

The MAGA leader added, "Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful. Thank you very much, Bibi."

Meanwhile, during the meeting, Trump added that he “hoped” that the US would not strike Iran again.

"They want to work something out. They’re very different now than they were two weeks ago," the 79-year-old said.

While Trump declined to give a date for upcoming talks with Iran, he informed reporters that they would find out more details on Tuesday.
