Netanyahu is playing Trump with his ridiculous Nobel peace prize nomination | Mohamad Bazzi
"Netanyahu nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, revealing a strategy that exploits Trump's need for flattery while prolonging Israel's war on Gaza and ongoing conflict in the Middle East."
"Netanyahu is using the Nobel nomination as a publicity stunt to maintain his political power, sabotage ceasefire negotiations, and avoid scrutiny over security failures related to Hamas."
"The nomination reflects a cynical logic where Netanyahu distracts from his political issues, aiming to sustain his coalition and evade legal challenges linked to bribery and corruption."
"Trump's initial emphasis on a ceasefire was undermined by Netanyahu's gesture, allowing the Israeli leader to buy time and maintain his brutal military stance."
Netanyahu nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize amid an ongoing war in Gaza, leveraging Trump's desire for flattery. This move is not merely absurd but serves a strategic purpose for Netanyahu, who is dodging political consequences including a bribery trial and the potential loss of his coalition government. The nomination also serves as a distraction from Israeli actions in the region while preventing a ceasefire that could threaten Netanyahu's control. Trump's enthusiasm for announcing a ceasefire was quickly tempered by Netanyahu's overture, further extending Israel's military engagements in the Middle East.
