Trump discussed the Nobel Peace Prize before the deal between Israel and Hamas

Final Touches of the Nobel Committee

The Norwegian Nobel Committee completed discussions on the Peace Prize on October 6, a few days before the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas was reached.

Erik Aasheim, a representative of the Nobel Institute, told AFP that the last meeting took place on Monday. The committee, consisting of five members, usually makes a decision a few days or weeks before the official announcement. The last meeting was held on the eve of this event.

Diplomacy and Expectations

Donald Trump, having returned to the White House in January 2025, actively claims his role in resolving international conflicts. He has repeatedly emphasized that his efforts deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ceasefire Agreement

Negotiations between Israel and Hamas, mediated by the United States, concluded with an agreement on the night of October 8-9. This occurred after the last meeting of the Nobel Committee.

Aasheim noted that no further meetings are planned until the announcement of the laureate on October 10 at 11:00 local time.

The Fine Line of Decisions

The Nobel Committee always keeps the exact timing of decisions secret. This adds intrigue and emphasizes the importance of each step in the process of selecting laureates.

This year, attention is focused on the role of international diplomacy and the influence of political figures on global processes. The completion of discussions in Norway and subsequent events in the Middle East create a unique context for the upcoming announcement.
