The families of hostages in Gaza recommended that the Norwegian Nobel Committee award the Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump.

According to The Times of Israel, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum stated that it sent a letter to the committee.

The news follows Hamas agreeing to release all Israeli hostages under the terms of Trump’s Gaza proposal.

The Times of Israel shared:

“At this very moment, President Trump’s comprehensive plan to release all remaining hostages and finally end this terrible war is on the table. For the first time in months, we are hopeful that our nightmare will finally be over. We are confident that he will not rest until the last hostage is brought home, the war has ended, and peace and prosperity are restored to the people of the Middle East,” the families write.

“From the moment of his inauguration, [Trump] brought us light through our darkest times,” they continue, expressing gratitude for the hostages returned through the US-brokered ceasefire between January and March.

“In this past year, no leader or organization has contributed more to peace around the world than President Trump. While many have spoken eloquently about peace, he has achieved it,” they add.

“We strongly urge you to award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize because he has vowed he will not rest and will not stop until every last hostage is back home,” the letter concludes.

Since 2018, Trump has been nominated for the prestigious prize — which he has repeatedly asserted that he deserves — by several individuals in the United States and politicians abroad. In July, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated the American leader for the award, citing the US’s role in the 12-day Israel-Iran war and the ceasefire that ended it.

The committee is scheduled to announce the Nobel Peace Prize winner on Friday, October 10th.

At the United Nations, Trump told delegates, “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize.” On Tuesday, Trump reiterated that he “deserved” to win the prize for the possibility of ending an eighth war, Israel’s two-year-long war on Gaza.

However, experts have noted that his chances are slim. The Norwegian Nobel Committee typically focuses on the durability of peace, the promotion of international fraternity and the quiet work of institutions that strengthen those goals, experts argued.

Among this year’s nominations for Trump were those from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistan’s government although both were made after the deadline for the 2025 award.
