Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel praised President Trump’s role in his country’s establishment of diplomatic relations with some Arab states. But Mr. Trump has supported Israeli actions that have strained those ties.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been nominated again for the Nobel Peace Prize. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Trump on Monday that he recommended him for the prestigious award, handing the American leader the letter he said he sent the Nobel committee.

Trump's current odds for winning the Nobel Peace Prize range between 17/2 (10.5 percent) and 6/1 (14.3 percent) across several major sportsbooks, according to the betting website Oddschecker, placing him as the second favorite for bookmakers.
