The winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado

The award goes to the person or organisation that’s done the most “for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses”

US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award, but nominations closed in January - at the start of his second term in office

    He will have raged hard hearing the final results.
    (Wasn’t eligible for “his” Gaza peace accord anyway, since that came after the decision was finalized early October … but I suspect he was crossing his fingers anyway, because well it’s always about him ofcourse)

        Well really it’s “his” Gaza “peace” “accord” since Hamas hasn’t even signed yet IIRC? And Israel will break it either way, even if Trump did in fact win the PP, they can’t take it back, so let’s get back to the genocide.

          Even if israel do not break anything and the whole plan is executed. Gaza will still be occupied so there would be no peace
