Just before Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip in Egypt, American media reported that Trump was continuing to actively lobby for the Nobel Peace Prize, hoping that the ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be finalized before the Nobel Peace Prize was announced on the 10th.

US President Trump said on the 8th that progress has been made in the negotiations held in Egypt on promoting the ceasefire in Gaza. He himself is likely to travel to the Middle East this weekend¡£

Trump says he is going to the Middle East.

US President Trump:

It's very close to the agreement and they're doing well. We have an excellent team over there, excellent negotiators. Of course, the other side also has very strong negotiators, but I think an agreement will be reached and there is a good chance of success. I may travel to the Middle East around the weekend.

CNN quoted an informed source as saying: Gaza deal could be completed within the next 48 hoursAs talks progressed rapidly, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio also confirmed that he had cancelled his scheduled trip to France to visit the Middle East at any time.

At present, U.S. Middle East Special Envoy Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law kushner are in Egypt, meeting with senior officials from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey to discuss the ceasefire agreement in Gaza. The New York Times reported that Arab mediation officials involved in the negotiations believed they might be able to persuade Hamas to partially disarm if Trump could guarantee that Israel would not return to war.

As the Nobel Peace Prize is about to be revealed, the Financial Times quoted European officials as saying: Trump is stepping up pushing Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement before Friday to influence the selection outcome. Trump also pressured the Norwegian government, while the Norwegian Foreign Minister stressed that the Nobel Committee operates independently of the government.Gregg, director of the Oslo Peace Institute, noted that putting pressure on the committee is not a peaceful practice. Trump's actions could affect the final outcome or prompt the committee to choose a winner who can appease Trump.¡£

Media: Trump believers around want Nobel Prize Norwegian government officials worried

On October 10, the results of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced soon. As this date approaches, some countries and media that previously nominated US President Trump to compete for the award have also stepped up their hype.

According to a report by Israeli media "Ynetnews News Network" on October 6 local time, although Trump is very eager to win the award and is working hard to broker an agreement to end the Gaza War and ensure the release of hostages to increase the chances of winning the award, experts believe that although he has repeatedly claimed that he ended the "seven wars" and has won the support of leaders of other countries, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the chances of winning the award are still low and the hope is slim.

Some analysts, in an interview with ABC, explained that the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize committee often focuses on ¡°the silent work of institutions that promote lasting peace, international fraternity and support these goals,¡± noting that Trump¡¯s past history may be unfavorable to him because he ignores international institutions and global concerns about climate change.

Bloomberg reported on October 4th, local time, that the US special envoy for the Middle East, Witkoff, urged the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Peace Prize to Trump in August this year. Trump claimed that if the committee didn't do so, it would be "a great insult to the United States". In addition, Witkov and US Secretary of State rubio secretly lobbied European leaders to support Trump's award, and Trump himself called Norwegian Finance Minister and former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg to discuss the Nobel Prize.

"Ynetnews" news network reported that Norway government officials are worried that Trump's failure to win the award may have "diplomatic implications," especially at a time when Norma-US relations are already tense (Norway's sovereign wealth fund withdrew from several Israeli companies due to the Gaza War) and the United States threatens to increase tariffs on Norway. Bloomberg said a senior Norway official, who declined to be named, joked that he was considering taking sick leave on October 10, the day the Peace Prize results were announced.

On September 2, 2025, demonstrators held a protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, highlighting the portrait of Trump, demanding the release of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

Unlike other Nobel prizes, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which is composed of five judges whose members are appointed by the Norwegian Parliament.

Associated Press quoted analysts as pointing out that the committee prioritized continued multilateral efforts rather than rapid diplomatic victories.Theo Zenou, a historian and researcher at the Henry Jackson Institute for Transatlantic Foreign Policy and National Security, said Trump¡¯s so-called ¡°efforts¡± have not yet been proven to last.

Zenu also stressed that Trump's contemptuous stance on climate change is inconsistent with what many people, including the Norway Nobel Committee, consider "the planet's greatest long-term peace challenge."

Norwegian think tank Oslo Peace Research Institute (PRIO) director Nina Graeger also said Trump's actions were contrary to Nobel's spirit, including withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, imposing tariffs on allies, and launching a trade war, which can hardly be seen as "promoting international friendship."

She said Trump's hopes for this year's award were "blurred" and "his remarks did not point to the prospect of peace", adding that Trump himself explicitly stated that he could get the award, but that could also be unfavorable to him because the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not want to be seen as "submitting to political pressure."

The Nobel Peace Prize was nominated by a total of 338 groups, including 244 individuals and 94 organizations. It should be noted that the deadline for nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025 is January 31, just over a decade after Trump regained power on January 20.

While Netanyahu and the leaders of Pakistan and Cambodia have all stated that Trump has mediated the military disputes involving their respective countries and supported Trump¡¯s winning, these statements came after the January 31 deadline, so Trump may not be eligible for this year¡¯s Nobel Peace Prize.

Bloomberg said that actions like these that support Trump's award and even nominate him as a candidate for the award can only be included in the selection process of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

According to the report, however, Trump may still have a "secret weapon". Claudia Tenney, a Republican congressman from New York, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize twice, including this year, in recognition of his contribution to reaching the Abraham Accords. However, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee did not confirm the specific nomination list.

According to Bloomberg, according to regulations, the results of the Nobel Peace Prize review will be kept confidential for 50 years, so unless Trump wins this year, historians will have to wait half a century to know whether he is on the list of candidates for 2025.
