Hyderabad: US President Donald Trump has been nominated for Nobel Peace Prize 2021 for brokering the UAE-Israel deal, media reports said on Wednesday.
Right-wing Norwegian politician Christian Tybring-Gjedde put the US president's name forward for a nomination. He told Fox News that it relates to the "historic peace agreement" between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Evening Standard reported.

Last month, the UAE and Israel announced the peace deal and both are set to sign the agreement normalizing relations at a White House ceremony on September 15.
The deal delivered a key foreign policy victory to Trump as he seeks re-election, and reflected the changing Middle East in which shared concerns about archenemy Iran have largely overtaken traditional Arab support for the Palestinians.
