Israeli PM Netanyahu nominates U.S President Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had sent a letter to the Nobel Prize Committee nominating U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Netanyahu made the announcement during a meeting with Trump at the White House, where the U.S. leader is expected to push Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza. 'I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize committee. It's nominating you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved,' Netanyahu told Trump. Netanyahu credited Trump for his role in brokering the Abraham Accords, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. 'Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful,' Trump said. The U.S. President has previously been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and has consistently argued that his efforts merit the recognition. However, he has never received the award. Trump has alleged that the Nobel Committee is intentionally overlooking him due to political bias.

US-Iran talks 'scheduled' as Trump says he 'would love' to lift sanctions
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that US-Iran nuclear talks are back on the schedule, with a meeting set to take place in Oslo, Norway in the coming days. The move follows a so-called "12-day war" between Israel and Iran, during which Trump bombed Iran's three nuclear sites - something no other US president had agreed to do before. "They want to talk," Trump told reporters at a Monday dinner he hosted for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. "I would love to - at the right time - take those sanctions off," Trump said, referencing his similar move in regards to Syria. "I'd like to see Iran build itself back up in a peaceful manner, and not going around, saying 'Death to America, Death to Israel' as they were doing. You know, they were the bully of the Middle East, and now they're not the bully anymore," he said.

Neighbouring countries may help resettle Palestinians from Gaza, Trump says
US President Donald Trump, while hosting a dinner for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, told reporters that Israel's neighbours may be willing to take Palestinians relocated from Gaza. "We've had great cooperation from... surrounding countries, great cooperation from every single one of them. So something good will happen," Trump said. "It's called free choice," Netanyahu said. "You know, if people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave," he added. "It shouldn't be a prison. It should be an open place and give people a free choice. We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will... give Palestinians a better future." Scholars and human rights groups have long described Gaza as an "open air prison" due to the air, land, and sea blockade Israel has imposed there since Hamas was elected in the 2006 legislative elections.
