Trump expressed his frustration to Netanyahu and other officials, lamenting that he does not receive credit for his alleged interventions in "35 years of fighting" between unspecified nations. "Do I get credit for it? No," he said, before referencing the Nobel committee and claiming to have ended eight international conflicts. The president quickly changed the subject after apparently realizing journalists were within earshot.

Trump Laments Nobel Snub During Mar-a-Lago Meeting with Netanyahu
During a meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, President Donald Trump complained to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he has been denied the Nobel Peace Prize despite his claims of resolving long-standing conflicts. The comments were captured by a hot mic as the two leaders discussed regional tensions.
To bridge the gap in recognition, Netanyahu announced he would award Trump the Israel Prize, making him the first foreign leader to receive the honor. This follows the recent, controversial FIFA Peace Prize granted to the president earlier this month. While Trump frames himself as an anti-war leader, his tenure has been marked by military campaigns in nine countries—including Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen—and ongoing support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Netanyahu, who faces an International Criminal Court warrant for alleged war crimes, received high praise from Trump, who described him as having done a "phenomenal job" navigating a dangerous period.
