History will never know that Trump grants leniency to more than 100 people, including Bannon MORE for the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a Reuters report.
Dershowitz stated in a letter to the Nobel Committee that the work of Kushner and his deputy Avi Berkowitz in helping negotiate diplomatic relations between Israel and the Arab nations is worth the distinction.
“The Nobel Peace Prize is not because of popularity. Nor is it an assessment of what the international community may think of those who have helped bring about peace, “Dershowitz wrote.” It’s an award for meeting the daunting criteria outlined by Alfred Nobel in his will. “
Dershowitz is eligible to nominate individuals for the Nobel Prize based on his status as a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, the outlet reported.
Dershowitz, a contributor to The Hill, also cited the work of two others during the peace talks: former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer.
The “Abraham Accords”, announced in August, were the first official peace deal to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates in decades.
“We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to promote a culture of peace between the three Abrahamic religions and all of humanity,” the US said of the deal on a State Department website. “We believe that the best way to address challenges is through cooperation and dialogue, and that developing friendly relations between states promotes the interests of lasting peace in the Middle East and the rest of the world.”
In a statement to Reuters, Kushner said he was “honored” by the nomination.
Trump and his supporters pointed to the deal as one of his most significant accomplishments during his only tenure.
Dershowitz defended Trump against two articles of impeachment filed against him in early 2020 following a scandal stemming from a conversation he had with the leader of Ukraine.
