Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner: soon a Nobel Prize at home?
Former senior White House adviser, Ivanka Trump's husband Jared Kushner is in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role as mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A Nobel Prize in the Trump clan? This Sunday, January 31, Jared Kushner was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, along with his deputy, Avi Berkowitz. The husband of Ivanka Trump, who recently left Washington to settle in Miami with his family, is being hailed for his involvement in normalizing relations between Israel and Arab countries. It was a lawyer close to former US President Donald Trump, whose new life in Mar-a-Lago seems less idyllic than expected, who submitted the two names. Alan Dershowitz thus salutes the action of the influential 40-year-old businessman, who under the mandate of his father-in-law became one of the most influential advisers in foreign policy.
Written by Jared Kushner, the Abraham Accords were "the biggest diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East in twenty-five years, as the region expects a protracted confrontation with Iran," Reuters said. Given the circumstances in which Donald Trump left the White House, it is a safe bet that the Nobel Peace Prize committee will take Donald Trump's policy into consideration in its decision to award this prestigious distinction to his two ex. -advisers. As a reminder, the Nobel Committee does not choose nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize: official figures, such as members of national assemblies or university professors, have the possibility of proposing names. Then, the committee does a first screening among the hundreds of names before carrying out a more in-depth examination of the candidates.
"Honored" to be named
In his capacity as professor emeritus at Harvard Law University, Alan Dershowitz therefore had the possibility of slipping the name of Jared Kushner, whose reputation was tarnished because of the controversial tenure of his father-in-law as head of the Office. Oval. "The Nobel Peace Prize is not a question of popularity," Alan Dershowitz said in a letter to the committee. "It is a prize for fulfilling the considerable criteria set out by Alfred Nobel in his will." For his part, Jared Kushner said he was "honored" to be nominated for this prestigious award, the winner of which will be formalized next October. Among the others named in this category, we find for the second consecutive year the Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, or the Russian opponent Alexeï Navalny, who has shaken the Kremlin since his arrest, with a shocking investigation devoted to Vladimir Putin.
