Netanyahu handed Trump his letter to the Nobel Committee—submitted on July 1—during a White House meeting between the two leaders on Monday evening, according to the Israeli Prime Minister's Office.

Trump has shown "steadfast and exceptional dedication to promoting peace, security and stability around the world," Netanyahu wrote, adding that his efforts led to a "dramatic change" in the Middle East through the Abraham Accords normalization agreements.

"These breakthroughs reshaped the Middle East and markedanhistoric advance toward peace, security and regional stability," Netanyahu wrote, praising the US president's "vision and bold leadership" for promoting "innovative diplomacy defined not by conflict and extremism but by cooperation, dialogue and shared prosperity."

"Few leaders have achieved such tangible breakthroughs to peace in such a short time. In these times of great historic change, I can think of no one more deserving than President Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize," Netanyahu concluded in his letter to the Norway-based Nobel Committee.

Speaking to reporters before a working dinner at the White House on Monday night, Netanyahu said the "partnership between Israel and the United States—the partnership between President Trump and me—produced a historic victory" over Iran. (Screengrab image: via GPO /JNS)

The Israeli leader likened the joint efforts of Jerusalem and Washington against Tehran to setting back "the two tumors that were threatening the life of Israel: the nuclear tumor and the ballistic-missile tumor."

However, he cautioned that "when you remove a tumor, that doesn't mean that it can't come back. You have to constantly monitor the situation to make sure that there's no attempt to bring it back."

Asked about the IED blast in the Gaza Strip earlier in the day, which killed five Israeli soldiers, Trump said he did not believe the attack would impact ongoing ceasefire-for-hostages negotiations. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff called the incident "terribly unfortunate," but maintained that there was still an opportunity for a ceasefire with Hamas, expressing hope that an agreement would be reached "very quickly."
