Trump has repeatedly said that he deserves the prize for what he states has been his role in settling seven conflicts, not including the Gaza war: Israel-Iran, Cambodia-Thailand, Kosovo-Serbia, Congo-Rwanda, Pakistan-India, Egypt-Ethiopia and Armenia-Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\tBy signing up, you agree to the terms<\/a><\/p>\n Despite his efforts, The Telegraph<\/a> reported on Thursday that Trump is unlikely to be awarded the Nobel but has enjoyed a surge of support that lifted his odds of winning the prize from 2 percent to 5% on betting site Polymarket.<\/p>\n \t A massive banner calling for US President Donald Trump to push a hostage deal in Gaza is unfurled at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv during a protest on September 6, 2025. (OM\/Hostages Families Forum)<\/p>\n The \u201cheavy favorite\u201d to win, the outlet said, was Emergency Response Rooms, which has provided humanitarian aid to millions of people caught up in the civil war in Sudan. The next favorites were Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Russian pro-democracy activist Alexei Navalny; Doctors Without Borders, which provides medical services in conflict zones, including Gaza; and the International Court of Justice, which is adjudicating a case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, which Israel vehemently denies.<\/p>\n The Norwegian Nobel Committee could theoretically choose at the last minute to award Trump the peace prize, but that would in practice be tricky, and Trump\u2019s chances of winning could also be undercut by his decisions to cut US foreign aid and embark on global trade wars, according to sources familiar with the award process who spoke to The Telegraph.<\/p>\n Since 2018, Trump has been nominated for the prestigious prize by several individuals in the United States and politicians abroad, including for his part in brokering the 2020 Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel and four Arab nations.<\/p>\n \t (L-R) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump, Bahraino Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan on the Blue Room Balcony after signing the Abraham Accords on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, September 15, 2020. (AP\/Alex Brandon)<\/p>\n Some observers have suggested that Trump was moving swiftly to begin implementing his Gaza ceasefire-hostage proposal in part to strengthen his chances ahead of this year\u2019s award.<\/p>\n The proposal\u2019s first phase, which Israel and Hamas agreed to early Thursday, requires the terror group to release all the remaining 48 hostages within 72 hours, and the IDF to stage an initial withdrawal from Gaza, where war was sparked following Hamas\u2019s massacre and hostage-taking in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.<\/p>\n Nava Freiberg contributed to this report.<\/p>\n
