Trump Declared ‘Peace President’ Following Israel-Hamas Agreement

On Wednesday, the White House recognized former President Donald Trump as “The Peace President” following his announcement of a historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas. This development has intensified calls for Trump to be awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, with the official announcement set for October 10, 2025.

The peace initiative, facilitated by the United States and Qatar, outlines an initial phase that includes the release of all hostages held in Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli troops to a designated line. This agreement potentially brings an end to a conflict that has persisted for two years. In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!”

The White House quickly echoed this sentiment. An official account on X, previously known as Twitter, hailed Trump as “The Peace President.” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick supported the notion, stating on X that Trump “should undoubtedly receive the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Responses from lawmakers further underscored the bipartisan acknowledgment of this peace effort. Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) commended the agreement, describing it as a “historic peace plan that releases all the hostages.” He emphasized that despite political differences, there is a shared commitment to Israel and its people. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) also expressed gratitude, stating, “Thank you President Trump!”

As the Nobel Committee prepares to evaluate candidates for the prestigious award, Trump finds himself among 338 contenders, which include 244 individuals and 94 organizations. His previous attempts to gain recognition for diplomatic efforts in the Middle East and North Korea have reignited focus on global peace initiatives since his return to office in January.

If selected, Trump would be the first U.S. president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize since Barack Obama. The implications of this agreement not only resonate in diplomatic circles but also impact the broader geopolitical landscape, highlighting the significance of U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern affairs.

As the announcement date approaches, the world watches closely, considering the potential ramifications of this peace deal and the recognition it may bring to Trump’s legacy on the global stage.
