Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his ground-breaking work negotiating the Abraham Accords. Kushner worked on the Accords in his capacity as White House Senior Advisor, along with his deputy, Special Assistant to the President Avi Berkowitz, who was also included in the nomination.
The nomination was submitted by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.). The New York Post obtained a copy of the nomination, in which Zeldin wrote, “The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, represent the most significant diplomatic breakthrough between Israel and Arab nations in decades.” Zeldin emphasized the significance of the men’s work. “Against the background of a centuries-old conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic, rising tensions, and Iran’s growing influence, Kushner and Berkowitz successfully brought together regional leaders, and forged regional alliances better capable of countering Iran’s malign influence.”
The Abraham Accords were a series of four agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco that normalized diplomatic relations between the participating nations. They were a historic accomplishment by the Trump White House, which made more progress towards a peaceful, harmonious Middle East than any prior administration had produced in at least a generation.
Kushner and Berkowitz were nominated once before, in 2021, by Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz. In the same year, President Trump received two Peace Prize nominations: one for doing “more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees” and one for his “Trump doctrine” against involving the United States in endless wars.
There were also controversial nominees in 2021 who arguably caused more consternation than peace, such as Stacey Abrams, the BLM movement, and Greta Thunberg.

It is not hard to be nominated for a Nobel Prize. Rush Limbaugh was years ago, but not for his diet for peace. (Rush was going to lose enough weight to fit into a bomber pilot seat.)
But this particular nomination is MORE DESERVING in terms of bringing peace to the Middle East. Compare that to the prizes won by Obama and Al Gore ( who actually won OVER the infinitely more deserving Irena Sendler ).
The guy is scum. Sorry.
RE: The guy is scum. Sorry.
Love him or hate him, the Abraham Accords are worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. He isn’t being nominated for the Mr. Rogers Prize.

Consider it is only given to true leftists, I see at least how you could make a case for him, but he so weakened our country that he brought on far more global bad than good. Again sorry.

Let’s look at the Abraham Accords OBJECTIVELY. If he is nominated ONLY FOR THIS, then it would be worth it.
If he were nominated for something else, then NO.

Not if the nomination gives him more credibility, especially in Trump’s mind, which leads to him ultimately do even more damage to the country.
His soft-on-crime push contributed to our war on the police.

Kushner isn’t in the White House any longer.
If this nomination makes the Abraham Accords known worldwide, it would be worth it.
RE: His soft-on-crime push contributed to our war on the police.
He is not being nominated for domestic policy.
Yes, let’s nominate Hitler because he helped an old lady across the street.
I don’t really like Jared and Ivanka, but he did a GREAT JOB in this and DOES DESERVE the Peace Prize!! TOO BAD it’s all political now.
omg....small minded. He did something that NO ONE thought could be done!
OKAY....please tell all of us what he did to weaken our country....details please.
I know better than to respond to uber-shrews on FR.
You shoulda stayed a lurker, kiddo.
They don’t give the Nobel Peace Prize to people who bring peace to troubled areas. They give it to people based on skin color.
