Trump Gets Another Award from Israel; Nobel Committee Still Holding Out
Mainstream media reports gleefully that Donald Trump, despite a Nobel Peace Prize snub, has received another award from Israel-aligned groups. The New Arab notes his surprise, but it's really no shock. Trump delivered on the 'Deal of the Century,' moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and brokering the Abraham Accords—deals that effectively normalized
Israeli occupation without addressing Palestinian rights, a pattern of diplomacy where land grabs are rebranded as peace. While the Nobel Committee balks at rewarding policies that fuel ongoing conflict, certain pro-Israel organizations are quite happy to laud actions that strengthen Israeli control over Palestinian territories. It makes one wonder: if the former US President had actually achieved
peace with justice, would he be receiving these very specific 'international awards'?
