Israeli Consul General offered to give Trump and Netanyahu the Nobel Peace Prize

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their military operation against Iran. This was announced on March 3 by the Consul General of Israel in New York, Ofir Akunis.

"I believe that President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. <...> I hope that President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu will receive the Nobel Peace Prize next year. They deserve it," he said in an interview with Fox News.
