Fox News analyst Brit Hume said Thursday that President Donald Trump should easily win the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the agreement reached to end the fighting in Gaza.
Trump announced Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase in a 20-point peace plan to include the release of all hostages still held by the radical Islamic terrorist organization. Hume told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that the achievement should make Trump a “shoo-in” for the Peace Prize, especially given former President Barack Obama’s win shortly after his 2008 election.

“This is a big day and a big deal and the president is talking about, what Monday and Tuesday, he said, that will be exciting indeed and I think, you know, discussing the Nobel Peace Prize is interesting,” Hume said. “It’s a little puzzling to me why he would want it, because the Nobel Peace Prize to evenhanded observers robbed itself of a great deal of credibility when the prize was given to Barack Obama when he had done absolutely nothing besides get elected.
He added that even so, Trump “clearly would like to have it, and wants it and love the prestige that he still feels accompanies it.”
Israel has carried out military operations in Gaza since Hamas carried out a deadly terrorist attack on multiple locations in southern Israel Oct. 7, 2023, that killed over 1,200 people. The radical Islamic terrorist group also took over 200 hostages, and is believed to still hold 48 Israelis hostage, 20 of whom are still alive.
Hume appeared to express doubt that Trump would receive the prize, despite his efforts.
“The president has been trying to bring peace, this president has tried to bring peace all over the world and a number of conflicts have stopped in no small part because of his efforts,” Hume said. “If the Barack Obama standard is the standard, the president should be a shoo-in, but I wouldn’t count on it.”
