“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” Tenney said in a statement.
“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false,” Tenney continued.
President Trump’s Abraham Accords were an unprecedented accomplishment in the pursuit of Middle East peace, yet they continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

There have been two other peace accords regarding the Middle East that have been recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize. The accord between Israel and Egypt in 1978 and the Oslo Accords in 1994, but the Abraham Accords have not received any recognition from the Nobel Committee.
The American Jewish Committee (AJC) deshttps://www.ajc.org/abrahamaccordsexplainedcribes the Abraham Accords as a landmark agreement that “normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, then later a renewal in ties with Morocco.”
“The Abraham Accords are a game changer in the Middle East, providing new opportunities for direct flights, people-to-people exchanges, business partnerships, and government agreements that have all led to investment and growth in the area,” the website continued.
The announcement that Trump has been nominated could not come at a worse time for Democrats. Recent Gallup polls show that only 32% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of foreign affairs, the economy and Middle East conflict.
While Biden is struggling in foreign affairs, Trump is being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
“Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace,” Tenney said. “I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and am eager for him to receive the recognition he deserves.”
Trump was previously nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize twice in 2020 and once in 2021. The winner of this year’s prize will be announced in October.
